Tedisco starts trend
A recent item here announced Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco coming off the eligible bachelor list in November when he weds Mary Song of Saratoga Springs.
Come to find out, the Saratoga Springs/Schenectady assemblyman is leading a rush for marital bliss by other Schenectady politicians.
Gary McCarthy, 51, a city councilman is marrying Caroline Boardman of Schenectady. Boardman, public information officer for the Troy City School District, and McCarthy, also a former county Democratic chairman, set Oct. 19 for the wedding.
County Legislator Vince DiCerbo, 54, trades vows with Lynn Smookler on Sept. 27. Smookler is a Poughkeepsie city assistant corporation counsel.
County Legislator Joe Suhrada, 43, and JoAnn Kehlbeck just the other day became formally engaged with a wedding set for winter 2009. Kehlbeck is a Union College chemistry professor.
McCarthy was surprised at the wave of politico impending nuptials. "If we had worked together we probably could have gotten some wedding group rates," McCarthy wisecracked.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
