The Albany County Democratic Committee endorsed Patricia Slavick over Mike Conners. More technically, he "withdrew" to avoid a floor fight and said he'd win the nomination in the primary. BS. He withdrew because he was going to lose. Something tells me this is going to be a tougher fight for Conners than last time.
And the same night the County Committee passed on long-time Coronor Phil Furie, endorsing John Keegan of Guilderland, who operates Magin & Keegan Funeral Home. Furie was an insurance guy. The Committee endorsed the three other incumbents for Coronor. Isn't it creepy to have Coronors will a built-in conflict-of-interest? A funeral director? Give me a break.
Why does Albany have Coronors? What exactly do they do? They're not doctors and can't determine the cause of death. Legend has it that one of these guys called someone dead at the scene a while back. You can guess the rest ...
Was. Not. Dead.
And here's some chit-chat on Tom Clingan and others on being multi-termers.
