“Albany County Legislature Expected to Consider Reso at February 11 Meeting”
Albany, NY (February 10, 2008) – Albany County Legislator Phil Steck, who announced his candidacy for Congress in New York’s 21st CD, announced today that he is pushing hard for support of the Resolution he co-sponsored with Legislator Doug Bullock that calls states that the Albany County Legislature is officially opposed to the Iraq War.
Steck said that he fully supports the effort to bring attention to the Bush Administration’s failure in Iraq. “It is important for local elected bodies, like the Legislature, to officially act and state our complete opposition to the Iraq War,” said Steck, a Democrat who represents a portion of the Town of Colonie. “We need to immediately withdraw troops from Iraq.”
Steck said that the resolution would send a powerful message that local elective bodies have a clear and strong opposition to the Bush Administration’s policies in Iraq.
