Marc Molinaro was successful in his bid to become Dutchess County Executive, which, come January 1, leaves the 103rd Assembly District unrepresented. The Kingston Daily Freeman reports today that, owing to a number of factors, among them redistricting and the federal Military Overseas Voting Act, filling the vacancy turns out to be a complicated task, and our part of the Hudson Valley may be left with no voice in the State Assembly for as long as six months. 

Thanks to a Gossips reader for bringing this to our attention.
