Despite wedding bells in Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco’s future (left), Assembly Republicans are still focusing on policy, announcing today RemaiNY—regional forums that will look at the reasons for young people leaving the state.
Here’s two answers: no jobs, high taxes.
Tedisco appointed three young assemblymen, Rob Walker of Long Island, Marc Molinaro of the Hudson Valley and Jack Quinn of the Buffalo area to look at the issue.
They are holding their first event tomorrow in Elmira at from 4 to 6 p.m. at the academic and workforce development center at Corning Community College.
The group expects to similar events across the state.

Jay Gallagher has covered Albany for Gannett News Service since 1984 and has been Albany Bureau chief since 1989. He`s a native of the Boston area and likes to point out that in this millennium, the score is Red Sox 1 championship, the Yankees 0. 
Cara Matthews has been a statehouse correspondent in the Albany Bureau since August 2005. Prior to that, she covered Putnam County government and politics at The Journal News for nearly five years. Before that, she worked at newspapers in Connecticut and covered the state Legislature for one of them. 
If anyone can help answer that question it’s our local Assemblyman Marc Molinaro. Assemblyman Molinaro could have moved away and worked where he could make more money but instead chose to stay in his local community. Dedicating his life to public service. Assemblyman Molinaro is on the rise and a role model for young people.
