This op-ed raises the possibility of a split ticket for the Governor and Lt. Governor, based on the primary results in New York.
In Vermont, Lt. Governor Phil Scott is a Republican, while the Governor Peter Schumlin, is a Democrat, as the state elects them separately.
Will they smell like the bucks?
"Alternate Route 7" in Colonie hasn't been the alternate to Route 7, since 1981. That's 33 years ago. Yet, everybody in Capital Region still calls "Alternate Route 7" that name, even if you can't find a road sign or map that labels "Alternate Route 7".
Part of it was the controversial nature of this roadway when it was built in the early 1980s -- people debated the pros and cons of "Alternate Route 7" before it was built, and the name stuck.
You would think map makers (and the DOT) would give up their opposition to calling it "Alternate Route 7" and adopt what everybody else calls it, "Alternate Route 7" to avoid confusion. Maybe they could put up signs that "Route 7" and "Alternate Route 7" along the same route to avoid confusion.
