Vince Pecoraro is reporting in the Chatham Courier state Assembly member Steve McLaughlin last week accused Phil Malone, his opponent in the November general election, of failing to file required ethics forms. In a statement released by his office McLaughlin called Malone “another member of the corruption club who is trying to get elected on a platform of incompetence and deceit.” The ethics forms are a requirement for all political candidates. Malone admitted he was late to file the form, but said he has nothing to hide. He also said the forms were submitted before McLaughlin raised the issue. He accused his opponent of grasping at straws to get headlines. Republican McLaughlin and Democrat Malone will face off in November for the 107th Assembly District seat. The district includes parts of Columbia, Rensselaer and Washington counties. Malone will be a guest on WGXC's @Issue, 10 a.m., Wednesday (Aug. 20). Read the full story in the Chatham Courier.
