Post-holiday roundup

A few stories to pass along...

Dick Anderson announced today that he's back in the running for the Dutchess County clerk on the Democratic ticket after he was unseated in 2003 by Republican Colette Lafuente. If he gets the nomination, his Republican challenger in November will be Brad Kendall, who was appointed to the position last year after Lafuente retired.

Republicans are using a new radio add to link U.S. Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-Hudson, to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in votes on peanuts and fish. Sounds like an interesting entree, but there's more to this story than a high-protein diet.

And Gov. Eliot Spitzer was in Pine Plains on Monday to participate in the town's Memorial Day parade and ceremonies. Spitzer, who owns a home nearby in Columbia County, says he likes the local coffee.
