ALBANY COUNTY — Democrats voting in Thursday’s primary showed overwhelming support for the incumbent county executive endorsed by the party. Daniel McCoy garnered 60 percent of the vote; his challenger, Daniel Egan, got 37 percent.

Both candidates support county nursing home services, approve of Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy’s goal to restrict crude-oil tanker movement through the county, and urge caution for expanded pipeline and electric transmission lines, with the safety of local residents as a primary goal.

County Legislator Herbert Reilly says he recalls the pain he saw in Clarksville years ago from polluted water and so has drafted a bill to protect public water supplies from blasting.

Two Democrats representing New Scotland in the Albany County Legislature are proposing a law to protect municipal water sources in the event of damage from pipeline blasting.
