Former Assemblyman Jim Baccalles Visits Albany

“It was an absolute honor to welcome back to Albany, not only my predecessor but my former boss, mentor and friend, Jim Bacalles. I had the great privilege to work for Jim for nine years. I learned so very much from him. Jim worked tirelessly to help the constituents he served in the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes Region. The most important thing Jim taught and demonstrated to me every day was you certainly could be honorable and serve in politics. Jim truly epitomized what it meant to be a public servant. When I was first elected, I knew I had big shoes to fill and I hope when all is said and done, I will have lived up to the expectation of public service Jim Bacalles demonstrated and set for the people of the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes,” said Palmesano.
