- From the opening of the newest ESL branch at 215 Merchants Rd. in Rochester, the picture shows state Senator Joe Robach on the left and Assemblyman Joe Errigo on the right. What's wrong? Well, this branch in located in the 14609 zip code of Rochester, this zip is not represented by Assemblyman Errigo. There a few possible explanations:
1. Assemblyman Errigo (who is a member of the Assembly Banking Committee) somehow helped secure funding or incentives for the branch opening, in which case he was not serving the constituency he is paid a salary to represent.
2. Senator Robach asked Errigo to be there, in which case Errigo did not deem anything within his district to be more worthy of his attention than a ribbon cutting.
3. Assemblyman Errigo was simply trolling for photo opportunities because getting his picture taken is more important than being in his district or in Albany working.
None of these reasons are acceptable. If anyone who lives in Assemblyman Errigo's district (the 130th which stretches from Pittsford to parts of Livingston County) disagrees with me and doesn't mind their Assemblyman being paid to have his picture taken, please let me know -
