    Albany's unfinished business (June 2009) Page 1 of 10 Albany's unfinished business (June 2009) Updated: November 20, 2009, 9:33 AM / Last week, the New York State Senate went into circus mode with a surprise Republican coup that took the majority and Senate leadership posts away from the Democrats and triggered days of political chaos. This week the new coalition weakened as one of two Democratic defectors returned to his party; the legality of the coup was to be decided in court. While all this was going on, the State Legislature session neared its end. The Senate is not doing the people's business while it's convulsing over power — and that should outrage New Yorkers. Newspapers across upstate weighed in on the issue, individually and as part of an ongoing Upstate Focus series intended to highlight matters of mutual concern. Here are some of the editorials: The Adirondack Daily Enterprise June 15 We can't help but sigh as we see the state Senate dissolve into circus antics: Republicans and billionaire Tom Golisano engineer a coup in which they are joined by two rogue Democrats — including the highly questionable Hiram Monserrate, who is facing charges of cutting his girlfriend in the face with glass — and then claim to reclaim the majority. Democrats dispute this and turn the lights off on them. Dems also lock them out of the Senate chambers, but they somehow get back in amid a sea of protestors and reporters. (By the way, the news offices in the Capitol are all right outside the Senate chambers — pretty convenient.) Then the Dems get a judge to bar them from having a session ..
