Long time Liberal Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY22) to retire
Ten Term Democratic Congressman, Maurice Hinchey, will announce his retirement this afternoon at 1 p.m. in Kingston, NY.
He's been a long time supporter of all kinds of Liberal causes, in a district that, before he was elected, was solid RepubliCON.
He will be sorely missed.
Here's a link to the story in the Daily Freeman, of Kingston, NY: http://www.dailyfreeman.com/articles/2012/01/19/news/doc4f1784b65e9c1354976121.txt
