WATERTOWN -A spokesperson for State Senator James Wright (R-Watertown) announced that the Senator officially resigned the position he has held since 1992 today by turning his letter of resignation into the Secretary of the Senate.
Senator Wright said the biggest challenge of the office is making sure that the North Country and Central New York are heard on important issues.
Senator Wright, I couldn't agree with you more, which is why electing Darrel Aubertine, a man who will continue to work hard for the constituents of the district, while giving the district a stronger voice by upsetting the status quo, and shifting the balance of power in the Senate is vitally important for the future of the North Country and Central New York.
While Assemblyman Aubertine's announcement this weekend, and the resignation mean that the race is officially on, only Governor Spitzer's announcement of a date for the Special Election remains for all of the pieces to be in place for what may be the most important election in North Country history.
This election marks the first chance in a long while for North Country and Central New York voters to unclog the arteries of the 48th State Senate district that have been hardened by years of opportunities wasted because of conflicts the opportunities presented for the "old moneyed" interests that have long dominated North Country and Central New York politics.

I find Sen. Wright's comment above very interesting in light of the fact that at last years Oswego County School Board Assoc. Legislative Breakfast he made a statement to the effect he was limited in what he could accomplish for us because he had to "consider" his colleagues downstate.
I want someone who will stand up for us, not another "dealmaker". We need "real" representation, and I believe we will have that in Darrel Aubertine.
