You can tell it's an election year in Albany...

The president of the common council (who just happens to be running for Mayor) has crossed what some call "a line in the local political sand" by calling for an investigation into the city police chief, following Sunday's Times Union article by Brendan Lyons. When considering candidates voters tend to be more impressed by past accomplishments rather than newfound boldness. But the political landscape is shifting in 2009 and the two abovementioned measures may have little weight on election day. Voters are "restless" and for lack of a better phrase, are "thinking outside the box" when sizing up candidates. And in Albany, things are just getting started. It should be an interesting week!
