A Test In January
In January Mark Surdam will be Hoosick Town Supervisor, and the Board will consist of Sutton, Wysocki and Bruce Patire. At that time Surdam’s Council seat will be vacant and someone must be appointed to replace him for one year. The new Board will be tested immediately to see how well they work together when they select that replacement.[/private]
