COOPERSTOWN – Veteran county Rep. Jim Powers, R-Butternuts, is again seeking to bump county Rep. Kathy Clark, R-Otego, from the chairmanship, according to representatives whom he's approached asking for support.

The Otsego County Board of Representatives, which Clark has chaired for four one-year terms now, will  hold its reorganizational meeting at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the County Office Building on upper Main Street here.

Powers, a dairy farmer and beekeeper, again turned back a challenge from Democrat Theresa Winchester of Gilbertsville in the Nov. 3 election.  Clark, retired food services manager at SUNY Oneonta, again ran unopposed in the Otego-Laurens district.

Last year, Powers, who served as board chair in 2008 and 2009, also tried to take the chairmanship from Clark, even meeting with Democrats at county Rep. Kay Stuligross' Oneonta home to try to form a bipartisan majority.   That effort failed.
