Albany County Legislator George Langdon announced his resignation following backlash over homophobic remarks he made at an event in Voorheesville that were caught on tape.
Langdon released the following statement on Monday afternoon.
During the past several days, I have taken time to reflect and consider how to best serve our community moving forward. It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to resign my seat at the Albany County Legislature.
I again express my sincerest apologies to all those who were hurt by my rash and thoughtless statements. It was never my intention to single-out or target anyone. I truly believe every individual should have the right to life and liberty in their pursuit of happiness.

TROY Mayor Patrick Madden and Fire Chief Eric McMahon announced the city will conduct an architectural assessment and feasibility study for the replacement of Fire Station #1 located in the city’s Lansingburgh neighborhood.
The replacement project was a priority for the Madden administration, but plans were delayed due to the pandemic, according to a statement released Thursday by the mayor s office.
The study will determine current and future operational requirements, firefighter health and safety, and code and industry standards for fire houses. It will also evaluate two proposed sites for the new station, including the current location on 5th Ave. and a new proposed site located at 2nd Avenue and 117th Street.

MISHAWAKA, Ind. (AP) An Indiana factory that once produced Hummers will be churning out electric vehicles later this year.
Electric Last Mile Solutions plans to make light-duty delivery vehicles in Mishawaka in the third quarter, the South Bend Tribune reported.
The company said it has more than 45,000 orders for the Class 1 vehicle, which means trucks or vans weighing less than 6,000 pounds. The van can go about 150 miles on a charge.
Employment could reach 100 people by the end of the year.
“We’re excited by the anticipated first-to-market opportunities and thankful for the state of Indiana’s support as we look to begin production later this year,” said James Taylor, co-founder of the Troy, Michigan, company.
