ILLUSTRATION BY JASON MOSER.
Saving the Empire (State) is the title and the theme of City Newspaper's 2010 election coverage.
In this guide you'll find a look at the current situation in Albany: the problems and why things never change despite repeated promises of reform.
You'll also find answers to several questions we asked of candidates running for State Senate and Assembly. The answers are in their own words. Don't see your candidate on there? It's because he or she never got back to us.
Elsewhere on the website, we have our endorsements for top state and federal races, and our non-endorsements for State Legislature.
