Rensselaer County Legislature – Politics As Usual? & Memorials To Gifford And Goodermote
by Kieron Kramer
The Rensselaer County Legislature is a body that seems to suffer from schizophrenia. On the one hand it commends the achievements of the people in the County and memorializes those citizens, beloved by their communities, who have passed away. On the other hand the Legislators have been known to fight tooth and nail about a resolution that they then pass unanimously. Over 90% of the resolutions introduced pass unanimously because at this level of government most of what government does has to be done; there is little choice. So, regardless of party, most of the Legislators vote alike most of the time and treat each other as if they are in one big family.
