E-mail received from The Times Union.
Quoted Text
The Times Union will launch a new column in February called The Advocate. We're looking to help solve Capital Region readers' problems by exposing government bureaucracy, dishonest business dealings or abominable customer service. We need readers' stories in order for this column to be a success.
Do you need help? Do you think you've been scammed? Are you tied up in red tape?
Write to Dan Higgins, The Advocate, at theadvocate@timesunion.com.
Thank you for participating in the Times Union Reader Network.

I realize that you have to cover your entire coverage area with the bureaucracy that you're going to try to bring to the forefront, but I think you could keep busy for a few weeks (months, years) if you just come over to Schenectady County. Start with Ed Kosiur's cushy new job with a $50,000 raise. I know that Schenectady County has to help him since he missed winning the Assembly seat in July.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. Come to Schenectady County and stay for a while!
