I am a registered Republican and have voted for Bill Larkin many times. But now, I believe, a change is needed. Larkin has been a good asset to our community. He was always available and he was always at community functions. But now it is time for Larkin to hang it up. In Tuesday's paper the TH-R states "he has rebuffed debate and interview requests." He also missed half of Senate sessions in Albany.

Larkin has been in Albany for 38 years;'he is about 88 years old. I just wonder if he is capable of doing his job. I don't believe he can. I have seen him lately and I was present at a fundraiser in Newburgh two years ago. He appeared to be what one expects when you're 88 years old. The need for term lLimits can be defined by our two local senators, Larkin (38 years) and Bonacic (18 years). It is time for both senators to hang them up.
