Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin has been formally charged with two counts of criminal acts; grand larceny and money laundering. County Executive McLaughlin has violated the public's trust and has committed an alleged felony. Like all elected officials, he is not above the law.

Allowing County Executive McLaughlin to remain in office sets a dangerous precedent moving forward. The allegations he faces are serious.

Join Democratic Minority Leader Peter Grimm, County Legislator Cindy Doran, and concerned county residents by signing our petition and telling Steve McLaughlin: resign now.
