Biden in region to tout stimulus

Vice President Joe Biden will speak in Clifton Park on Thursday, according to the Glens Falls Post Star.

The invitation was extended by Saratoga County Democratic chairman Larry Bulman. Rep. Scott Murphy told the newspaper that he plans to fly home to attend the speech.

“It’s not that there’s a big project that he’s coming to announce. He’s just going to be talking more generally there,” Murphy said in a telephone interview Wednesday.

Murphy said he will fly in from Washington for the afternoon event and then fly right back, as the House is in session on Thursday.

“I might miss a vote depending on how the schedule works,” he said.
