Tedisco may be out as leader no matter what
March 31, 2009 at 9:51 pm by James M. Odato

Republicans are split on whether Assemblyman James Tedisco should remain minority leader if he returns to the 42-member conference. Some of the conference members say they are squarely behind Tedisco, who was voted to a two year term as minority leader at the start of the year.

Others are saying that he must step aside for Assemblyman Brian Kolb, R-Canandaigua, to ascend as leader.

"It's tenuous," said Assemblyman Dan Burling, R-Warsaw, who says he likes both Tedisco and Kolb but is aware of the sentiment within his conference.

Privately, some conference members say Tedisco has done a lot to create attention on the minority, but they want the resources of the conference used more for policy, such as alternative budget packages.

One member said about two dozen members are ready to call for a change if Tedisco returns unsuccessful from his congressional campaign.

Assemblyman David McDonough, R-Merrick, said he would be surprised at such a development.

William Sherman, Tedisco's chief of staff, said he cannot say what the conference desires.

Results by County (4.00 / 1)

Murphy balanced out Tedisco's gains in Rensselear and Saratoga Counties by winning big in the three counties north of Saratoga and by keeping Delaware County surprisingly close.
