Candidates’ Night set in Cooperstown


The League of Women Voters of the Cooperstown Area announces that it has scheduled the Candidates’ Night for the Village of Cooperstown’s upcoming election.

The forum will be held on Monday, March 1, at 7 p.m. in the Otsego County Courthouse courtroom. This is a change in venue from the original schedule, in order to more adequately accommodate those voters of the Village who would like to attend.

The Village Election will be held on Tuesday March 16, 2010.

The Candidates’ Night will be moderated by league member Maureen Murray and all the candidates have agreed to attend. This includes the two candidates for mayor, Jeff Katz and Joe Booan, as well as the four candidates for the two open trustee positions: Lynne Mebust, Sally Eldred, Doug Walker and Alton ``Chip’’ Dunn, III. In addition, Leslie Friedman and Mike Molloy who are running for the position of Village Justice will also attend the evening.

The two Village Justice candidates will present opening remarks detailing their qualifications, but will not participate in the question and answer portion of the program.

The League is a non-partisan, political organization which does not support or oppose any political candidate or party. For additional information, contact LWVCA President, Ellen Tillapaugh, 547 5646.
