The bad blood will linger.
It’s easy to dismiss the infighting tearing the Schenectady City Council apart as the noisy byproduct of an unusually competitive election cycle.
Indeed, I did it myself, initially rolling my eyes at the acrimony that exploded into public view earlier this month.
With the Democratic primary fast approaching, it seemed only natural that tensions would be running high, that things would get heated and nasty.
Politics is a battlefield – we shouldn’t be surprised when open warfare breaks out.
What has surprised me is the level of acrimony on display, and the divisions and rifts that have emerged.
