GOP State of the State response?
Earlier we told you Sen. Joe Robach was set to give the GOP response to Gov. Spitzer’s State of the State address. Well, the D&C political blog reported this morning “the Republicans have designated Sen. Andrew Lanza” to give the GOP’s response.
This could be interesting because Daily Politics cited “Republican sources” in her claim that Robach was set to give the response. Could this be a sign of a struggle going on in the Senate GOP? Or could it just be a simple miscommunication?
Perhaps after the GOP response we’ll find out more…
UPDATE: Daily Politics has more:
When I asked why the Senate had chosen Lanza, I was told he’s viewed as a “young, rising star within the party.” Given that youth is at a premium - particularly in the Senate - and the fact that the GOP doesn’t have a very big back bench in this Democrat-dominated state, the selection of Lanza makes sense.
Hey! Jeff Pritchard here, 15 year old blogger from the Utica Area I just stumbled upon Rochester Turning the other day and wanted to say Good job on all of your content. My Blog, The Utica Progressive, has covered National Issues in its first few months, and I’m beginning to become more of a Utica/24th District Blog, and just wanna get out into the New York Blogosphere.
Keep up the good work!
