This writer will be adding a more detailed commentary soon, but for now, here is all you need to know about the Albany County Surrogate Court judicial race:
Murray Carr — not known for doing the job he currently does in any efficient manner. Has to be nagged to do it.
Cathryn Doyle — seems to do a good job as a judge. Is currently the incumbent.
Helena Health Roland — incompetent but doesn’t seem to know it. Everyone around her does.

How can we set up a forum where people can be civil? Would you be willing to post under your real name? Why or why not?

Get out there and vote. Let’s get rid of some of the corruption — maybe all of it — in Albany City Hall.
