While the Times Union feels compelled to promote their staff blogs as if they were the second coming of Star Wars movies, I prefer to step aside one day each week and showcase my fellow Times Union community and staff bloggers.  They’re the ones that write excellent, forward-thinking articles, and who deserve to get the…
