This morning's Ithaca Journal reports that two members of the Dryden Town Board will not be seeking re-election this November: Supervisor Steve Trumbull and Councilman Marty Christofferson. Both are Republicans, initially elected in 2003.
Steve Trumbull accomplished at least two major things: calming things down after an explosive few years, and getting the Town Hall built. While I've not always been happy with the direction the Town went on various issues, I've certainly had fewer divisive stories to report over the last four years than I expected when I started this site in the wake of the 2003 election.
I'm happy that the article also reports that Democrat David Makar will be running for re-election this fall. (The Democratic caucus will be July 18th - more details soon.)
The Journal also explains how to dispose of fluorescent light bulbs in Tompkins County.
