City and State magazine recently did an online profile of Senator Bonacic, entitled, "From the Desk of John Bonacic." It's a look inside Senator Bonacic office, and also some stories behind the mememtos and photos he keeps displayed there. Here is the text from the profile:
State Sen. John Bonacic has been in government for decades, serving as an assistant district attorney, a local planning board member, an Orange County legislator and a member of the state Assembly and Senate.
But the veteran lawmaker says his goal of achieving balance in his life – making time for family, focusing on policy as well as politics, cultivating friendships across the aisle – has kept him from trying to climb any higher on the political ladder.
It’s no surprise, then, that Bonacic’s district office in the Hudson Valley is filled with mementos of family and friends, and only a handful of the awards and photos with big-name politicians that feature prominently in the offices of many of his colleagues.
“When you look around my office, you will see more family than you will see pictures of presidents or political relationships or prominent elected leaders, both nationally and statewide,” he said. “I have those pictures, but I don’t keep them in my office.”
