Meeting Maurice Hinchey

I have been spending a great amount of time driving around the 19th District.  This has given me an opportunity to revisit areas I have not seen in quite some time. It also gave me an opportunity to meet many voters who have responded to my message that government must have a conscience. I discussed that very thing to Maurice Hinchey (D) at the Vernal Fling on May 12th which I attended to honor his years of service and to introduce myself as the independent candidate for the new 19th. I was more than pleased when he responded with a very enthusiastic "You're absolutely right!"  I hope many of you feel the same way.
