WDT:Governor muses on Aubertine's future

December 31, 2010 Senator Aubertine's last day of service to district 48.  The 48th district encompasses parts of St. Lawrence, Jefferson, and Oswego Counties.  Senator Aubertine a person with North County values but his team consisted of many Democratic representatives from New York City.  Darrel held fast on gun control which was a major issue in Northern New York but he had no choice but to conform to NYC leadership and voting on many issues that did not favor New York's taxpayers.     

Since the unexpected departure of Senator Wright this district has been heavily contested.  The Democrats and Republicans have spent millions of dollars to maintain control of this district. With 32 - 30 lead the Democrats needed win every seat to maintain control. The voters spoke and it looks like the Republicans will gain control with a 32 - 30 margin. 

The last two years the Senate Democrats have been riddled with gang like activities, criminal acts, and unethical moves by the leaders of the conference.  Taking illegal funding and filtering the money into many democratic races had a tendency to taint the candidates that received this dirty money. Compound that with two years of turmoil the Democratic conference did not create an environment conducive to Senator Aubertine's re-election.  

What is the future for Senator Aubertine?  Will he be offered a job by the controlling Democrats, will he just fade of into retirement,  will his wind farm materialize, or will he be back in 2 years?

Mr. Aubertine will be back in two years. Mrs. Ritchie has a tough 2 years inheriting a 10 billion dollar deficit, and out of control spending. Tough decisions will have to be made and that may include closures in corrections. In keeping the path to lowering taxes, Senator Ritchie may make some very powerful enemies.

The Democrat Senate committee is 2 million dollars in debt and will have time to recover. They will again be willing to finance the farm, even Darrel's farm, to gain control of the Senate.

Anom 1123 I find the 3 choices good choices. Looking for those you can trust and represent the office well. Those that help sometimes reap the bennies.
