How bipartisan is the Republican-controlled Senate these days? It passed a resolution sponsored by a Democratic senator celebrating the birthday of Malcolm X, and confirmed another Democratic appointee of the Democratic governor, Broome County Executive Barbara Fiala as commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
