Dear Editor:
A lot of false and misleading information gets tossed around in an election season, but unless the resulting disservice to voters hits a certain level, I generally don’t respond.
I’ve decided, however, to address a mischaracterization being circulated by my opponent.

Absentee ballots for the November 8 General Election are now in the mail, though behind schedule, according to Town of Webb Clerk Nanci Russell.

Following the abrupt resignation of Adirondack Park Association Chair-man Curt Stiles this summer, support for the appointment by Governor Cuomo of Commissioner Leilani “Lani” Ulrich of Old Forge as APA Chairman continues to grow.
Mrs. Ulrich has the support of State Senator Betty Little (R-Queensbury) who feels that of the eight Commissioners on the APA Board, Ulrich is the one best suited for the position’s responsibilities, according to the Glens Falls Chronicle.
“It’s a great honor to be considered for this position, and I greatly appreciate all of the support I have received,” Ulrich said upon hearing about the recommendation from Senator Little. Continue reading
A second Candidates’ Night was held this week at Old Forge’s View—this time sponsored by the Central Adirondack Association (CAA)—with audience members getting a chance to hear Town of Webb hopefuls at a more advanced stage of candidacy, and Election Day just two weeks off.
The field of Webb candidates was only slightly smaller than CAP-21’s pre-primary event, with only George Hiltebrant missing.
Hiltebrant had elected to go all-or-nothing in the primary and was narrowly nixed by Democratic opponent Dave Berkstresser.
Making up the difference, however, on Tuesday, October 25, were the two candidates for Herkimer County Sheriff: Chris Farber, the incumbent, and Tim Klock.
Other candidates were those running for Town Supervisor—Richard Risley, Dave Berk-stresser, Ted Riehle, and Stuart deCamp. Continue reading
