Valesky win sends Bruno clear message

We hope state Senate Majority leader Joe Bruno understands what Tuesday's election results mean - especially for the people of the 49th Senate district.

In re-electing state Senator David Valesky, voters in this area spoke loudly this week that they still want change in Albany.

Bruno had pumped about $1 million into the campaign of Valesky's challenger, Jeff Brown, and Valesky still managed to secure nearly 60 percent of the vote.
