AFTER ELECTIONS, AMITY

County Rep. Michele Farwell, D-Butternuts/Morris/Pittsfield, walked across the county board room before today’s meeting began to congratulate Republican Rick Brockway and welcome him to the Otsego County Board of Representatives. Just 12 hours before, both were anxiously awaiting elections results.  He won the District 3 (Laurens-Otego) seat over Democrat Caitlin Ogden; an incumbent, she won a challenge from Marcia Hoag, an independent.  Today, they were colleagues.  (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
