Opinion We Want Answers on The Report Now

Following months of public intrigue and political wrangling, the long awaited $300,000 "report" on corruption and intimidation within county government is set to be released on Friday - when the Board of Supervisors convenes for their monthly meeting - the result of which will be nothing short of the absolute upheaval of Schoharie County's political landscape.

While we do not know the specifics of Friday's pending report, The Schoharie News can confirm it will likely shape the outcome of several of this fall's elections due to names we have heard repeated from multiple sources over and over this past week and that the aftermath could be a "bloodbath."

Although just a handful of days stand between full knowledge of "the report" and what we know now, and we could simply wait for the aftermath, that isn't how this news site works. We work for you and as your response indicates very clearly: you want answers. Now.

And so do we.

We want to know exactly what does the report say about the way our county government operates? And who is named in this report. Why? And why haven't supervisors (besides a select few) been calling for the report's release in a timely manner?

And we want to know now, which is why we're going to keep digging until we get those answers and why we're not content with just waiting for the news to develop... Because we're in the news of developing the news to best inform you, the reader, on the state of public and political affairs inside the halls of power in Schoharie County.
