Long Week Ahead for County Board

The Schoharie County Board of Supervisors will earn their paychecks this coming week, as legislators are scheduled to meet every evening for the next four nights.

Their marathon session will kick off today at 4:00 p.m. with a special county board meeting to name a Clerk of the Works to monitor the AECOM stream bank project as it moves forward into the construction phase. No official agenda has been published on the county website. 

Tonight's meeting will be followed by three days of special hearings on suspended Personnel Director Cassandra Ethington at the Schoharie County Court House. Each affair will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will last as long as necessary; Supervisors will serve as the trial's jury. 

Additionally, several townships (Blenheim and Middleburgh, to name a few) will be holding its monthly board meeting over the coming week, leaving those Supervisors with even more responsibilities to contend with on top of their already steep countywide obligations.
