COOPERSTOWN – The letters of five citizens read at Monday’s Village Board meeting convinced the trustees to “cancel” five $108 fines and forgive 21 others levied by the Public Works Department, which deemed sidewalks not sufficiently cleared after the light snow of Jan. 18-19.
Now through July 31st, new or lapsed annual subscribers to the hard copy “Freeman’s Journal” (which also includes unlimited access to AllOtsego.com), or electronically to AllOtsego.com, can also give back to one of their favorite Otsego County charitable organizations.
$5.00 of your subscription will be donated to the nonprofit of your choice:
Cooperstown Farmers’ Market, Cooperstown Food Pantry, Greater Oneonta Historical Society or Super Heroes Humane Society.
Cooperstown Village~as to the fines against residents for not clearing their sidewalks is a travesty. The amount of taxes paid by village residents should certainly include clearing of sidewalks by the village crew. If the Town of Hartwick can clear the streets in the hamlet, certainly, the equipment that Cooperstown village has could do the job done with out any increase in manpower or equipment!!!
