Letter To The Editor – Hire Residents Only For Town Jobs

By

Dear Editor:
Earlier this year the city of Albany re-instituted its By-Law banning non-residents from working for the city. This is as it should be. Most cities and townships require their municipal employees to be residents.
In my Town of New Lebanon we always had a similar law on the books. However, on 3-10-2008, the Town Board passed an Amendment to this law that allowed any resident of Columbia County to work for the Town of New Lebanon. This decision was not made out of generosity or a need for employees, it was made as a means to cover the fact that the Town had been violating its own law for two years.

Lebanon Valley Farmers Market Bizarre Bazaar

By

Throughout this past summer the Midtown Mall in New Lebanon was the site of an amazing success. What was this success? The Lebanon Valley Farmers Market that took place every Sunday from 10 am until 2 pm.
In response to the tremendous outpouring of interest from customers and vendors alike, maybe because we all miss the warmth and sunshine of summer a little, too, the First Annual Holiday Bizarre Bazaar will take place on Sunday, December 12, from 10 am until 2 pm. This event/market is primarily an indoor event though there may be some overflow into the “Green” if there is enough of the right kind of snow to build snowmen, make snow angels or sip piping hot, wonderful locally roasted coffee.
