Democratic slate chosen in Rensselaer County race
In Troy the Rensselaer County Democratic Committee selected candidates for state county and city offices on Tuesday night. Adrian C. Gonyea was nominated to run against Neil Kelleher for the 101st Assembly seat. Gonyea criticized Kelleher as a carnival barker and pledged to defend all district residents, even if enrolled Republican. Complaints about panhandling and loitering in downtown Troy prompted a business group petition presented to Councilman Louis C. Rizzo. In Eagle Mills, ecumenism will be shown when a Roman Catholic Mass is held at Eagle Mills Methodist Church with St Francis de Sales parishioners attending.
