GOP elves: All 10 Republican Albany County legislators pitched in to buy Christmas presents for the Capital City Rescue Mission in Albany. Each year, the mission presents about 3,000 Christmas gifts to the needy from all donors. County legislators Mark Grimm, left, and Paul Burgdorf, center, delivered their gifts to the mission's Executive Director, Perry Jones, at right. Legislative staffer Kate Pope coordinated the project.
