THINGS GETTING INTERESTING IN CORTLAND

Did you read the story in Monday's Cortland Standard's Consumer-News about the 5 Democrats leaving the legislature? Three of them are long timers that have held their positions for 28 to 30 years! This leaves an opening for the Republicans to control the legislature. All they have to do is keep all their current legislators and win 3 of the five openings. That 'should' be easy as there are more Republicans than Democrats in the county. I put 'should' in quotes because the Republicans have had a majority of voters for a long time and haven't been able to get many elected. I know little about the Cortland Republican Committee and nothing about who is running things. BUT I am results oriented and if their performance was to judge them then they would all fail. It will be very embarrassing for them if they fail now. It will be fun to watch and more fun for me to talk about.

Update: I received an email that contradicted the Cortland Standard's numbers of Republican vs Democrat legislators. The emailer said there are 6 Republicans and 13 Democrats. I was going to check into this but I couldn't get up enough energy to care one way or the other and didn't. Oh, and you need 10 for a majority.
