One of the candidates for Rensselaer County executive wants to see the county make what he says is a investment in the safety of the county’s firefighters, but one of his challengers said that investment is already being made.
Assemblyman Steven McLaughlin said during a recent interview with The Record that it is vital for the Rensselaer County Fire Training Facility on Macha Lane to receive some much-needed improvements. McLaughlin, R-Troy, said the current administration under County Executive Kathleen Jimino and her deputy, Christopher Meyer, who will face McLaughlin in a Sept. 12 Republican primary to replace Jimino, has had several years to make necessary upgrades to the facility, but have not done so.
