Editorial: Too much for too little in 39th District election
The piece weighs the idea of a special election to fill the 39th Assembly District vacancy from Hayes’s board appointment. It notes the legal limits may force only a primary on Nov 7 and a likely final election in late November or December, costing up to $70,000 for a four week term. It warns of multiple candidates, possible voter confusion, and political manipulation of rolls. It argues against gubernatorial action, given a new full term starts Jan 3.
