New Lebanon Town Board Action – Fuel Bid Confusion

The January New Lebanon Town Board meeting was a quiet one. The most exciting discussion of the night was how to accept a bid for low sulfur heating fuel, low sulfur diesel fuel and kerosene. Resident attendance was low, and those who stayed home missed very little.

Chittenden to use a piece of his land for tobogganing and that sort of excitement, was once again accepted for this winter. [Read more…] about New Lebanon Town Board Action – Fuel Bid Confusion
