Letter To The Editor – Wake Up Hoosick!

By

To the Editor:
The Councilman’s [Patire] opinions may not be based on facts. Is anybody really buying Bruce Patire’s story that he is acting in the best interest of the taxpayers? It seems Mr. Patire left something out of his letter to the Editor. (The letter appeared in area newspapers earlier this week.) He mentioned that he attended a [Town] Board meeting but failed to mention that he (after he was elected to the Board) explained why he thought the best option for the Town was to have the Town purchase the Patire used car dealership on Main Street in Hoosick Falls.

Light Voting In Village Election

By

by Bea Peterson
To say voter turnout for the Tuesday uncontested election of three Hoosick Falls Village trustees was light is an understatement. It was more like family and friends showing support for those they hold dear. Robert Downing has served on the Board for many years. David Borge and Jeremy Driscoll were both appointed to their seats. This was their first time seeking election to the Board. Undoubtedly the fact that the three were unopposed had a great deal to do with the low voter turnout. The result was a forgone conclusion.
