Statement from Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco
(R,C,I-Schenectady-Saratoga)

"Today's announcement from Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno that he will not seek re-election this fall will be met with many heavy hearts among his Members and amongst our own Assembly Minority Conference. Throughout his successful and historic tenure of public service, Joe Bruno has been a true leader for a better New York State and a tireless advocate for our entire Capital District. Joe Bruno's leadership helped transform New York State and he will forever be remembered as a true statesman who always put the best interests of good government and the people he served first, foremost and always. I have had the pleasure of working in close partnership with my good friend and colleague Joe Bruno for many years and, like so many, I have seen firsthand the positive difference his dedicated advocacy has meant to our community. Joe Bruno has a fighter's heart, an intellect's mind and a New Yorker's belief in the hopeful promise of tomorrow. There can be no doubt that our state - and our Capital District community - is the better for Joe Bruno's leadership as he fought the good fight for a safer, stronger New York."
