Patricia Doxsey in The Daily Freeman reports that U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey, a Democrat who represents an area just south of Greene County, will not seek re-election this fall. Hinchey, 73, was elected to a 10th two-year term in November 2010. Hours after his announcement, his wife, Allison Lee Hinchey, was charged with drunken driving for the second time in eight months in Albany. That story is also in The Daily Freeman.
