Correction
In our story on the Grafton Town Board last week we passed along misinformation regarding the residency of David Buckley, who intends to run for Grafton Supervisor. According to a letter from Buckley’s lawyer, he purchased property at 41 Benker School Way in Grafton on April 20, 2010. The deed was recorded in the County Clerk’s office on April 27. We apologize for passing along this misinformation.
