Blankenbush Could Lose Most of SLC Under Redistricting Plan

Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush will have to start making new friends in Oneida and Oswego Counties as new Legislative boundaries alter his current district.
Jefferson County will gain representation from Will Barclay who will pick up much of Southern Jefferson County.
Assemblywoman Addie Russell's "River District" picks up some more waterfront property with the addition of the very tony Town of Hounsfield, home of Sackets Harbor.
Looks like Patty Ritchie's Senate district is unchanged, although the entire Senate adds one seat.
It's all inside baseball, but an interesting parlor game for those too old to play softball.

Ken is losing RINO voters. He's gonna have some splainin' to do about his tax cut that raised 2 billion in taxes.

Wonder if this would cause McGrath to revist his decision to run? It would be a partly open seat again as the new district wouldn't have a clue who Blankenbush is?

New District is 2:1 republican.Maybe a reason McGrath would not run.

Wasn't the old district 3:1 republican?
