Kings Backed by Six Counties In Re-Election Bid
In New York the six Republican county chairs of the 29th district reaffirm support for Rep. Carleton King in his bid for an eighth term amid questions about his district office operation and ties to a law firm. King defends paying his son in law James Murphy Jr. 24900 a year as district representative, notes Murphy was hired before an anti nepotism law. He also uses the King Murphy and Fitzsimmons firm name while reporting no income. ABA says public office holders may not use their name in a law firm unless active. Chairs call the charges invalid or none of their business. In Troy, urban renewal and historic preservation clash as the renewal agency and city council transfer ownership of the John P. Ryan building for demolition for a new city hall site, despite preservation concerns and potential loss of federal urban renewal funds.
