by David Flint

NY State Senator McDonald Visits Berlin
by David Flint
Roy McDonald characterizes the State budget battle as more of a geographic struggle – beleaguered upstate versus more populous, wealthy and powerful downstate – rather than a fight between political parties. Dubbed as a Special Rural Edition of “On The Road With Roy,” the State Senator, who represents Saratoga and Rensselaer Counties, came to town last Friday afternoon to sit down and talk with Berlin Town officials and Fire Department representatives. McDonald was accompanied by Pat Poleto, Deputy Supervisor for the Town of Brunswick.
