Democrat caucus is set
Staff Report
Richard Abbate, the Village of Cooperstown
Democratic Committee
Chairman, has set the date for the
party’s caucus to select candidates for
the annual March election.
This year, candidates for the office
of mayor, a two-year term; two threeyear
terms on the board of trustees
and the village justice will be chosen.
Four-term mayor Carol Waller, a
Republican, has decided not seek reelection.
She said last month that she
intended to support Deputy Mayor
and Democrat Jeff Katz in his bid for
the job.
The first term of Trustee Lynne
Mebust, also a Democrat, is expiring
and she plans to run for another
three-year term on the board.
Independent Trustee Eric Hage,
whose term is also up, said last month
that he has not yet decided if he will
run again.
Voters will also decide on a village
justice in the March election.
The position is currently held by
Enid Hinkes, who is completing her
second four-year term.
Hinkes said last week she does not
intend to run in March for a third
term.
``I’ve decided to move on to other
things,’’ she said.
Abatte said anyone interested in
running on the Democratic ticket may
contact him at 547-8716.
``It’s going to be an exciting year,’’
he said.
The caucus will be held on Wednesday,
Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. in the village
meeting room.
