Rescue Mission: Senate Democratic Leaders Head to Sprague to Stand at Polling Place.

Senate President Pro Tem Martin Looney and Majority Leader Bob Duff spent part of Election Day in Sprague. The Democratic leaders are trying to bolster the prospects of state Senator Cathy Osten, who serves as the financially strapped town’s first selectman. Under Osten’s leadership, Sprague is one of four municipalities operating under state monitoring due to poor budget decisions.

Osten is thought to be in a tight race for re-election.
