Cooperstown Candidate Forum This Evening

COOPERSTOWN – The League of Women Voters’ local chapter will host a Village Board candidates’ forum 7-9 p.m. today in the Village Hall meeting room.

Incumbent Democrats Jim Dean and Cindy Falk are running again.  Republican John Sansevere is also running.  The top two vote-getters will claim the two open seats in the Wednesday, March 18 village elections; polls will be open noon-9 p.m.

Normally, village elections are on a Tuesday, but Mayor Jeff Katz said the state Board of Elections rescheduled this year’s village elections statewide so they would not happen on St. Patrick’s Day.
