This time, it’s Republican New York State Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, who has announced his retirement.

The ‘Phants have a 1 seat majority in the state senate, and I think that Bruno knows that this will change and that the Senate will go Democratic in 2008.

Hopefully, a redistricting at the state senate level will follow, because that body is ridiculously gerrymandered, since the Dems will then hold both state houses and the governor’s mansion.
