This morning's Ithaca Journal reports on the upcoming Town Board election, talking with all four candidates about what they'd like to accomplish. The Republicans running are incumbent Steve Stelick and newcomer Dan Tier. The Democrats running are newcomers Mary Ann Sumner and Paul Lutwak. I'm happy to see that the Journal reached all four of them for comment, as well as Town Supervisor Steve Trumbull, who will be running unopposed this year.
(The article states that the open seat is the result of Republican Councilman Mike Hattery stepping down to run for County Legislature, but the open seat belongs to Republican Councilman Chris Michaels, who is retiring. I don't think Hattery has to step down unless he wins the election.)
Just to the north of Dryden, the print edition of the Journal notes that McLean-Cortland Road in Groton will be getting repaved over the next month.
