FRESHMAN TRUSTEE CARRIES DAY

Cooperstown Village Hall

COOPERSTOWN – The Pride Flag flew over the state Capitol in Albany this summer for the first time.
The idea of flying it over Village Hall in Skaneateles was proposed in June, but no action’s yet been taken there.
That means the Village Board’s unanimous voted Monday, July 22, may make Cooperstown the first municipality in the state to authorize flying the Pride Flag on Village Hall next June, LGBT Pride Month.
In announcing the decision, Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh Kuch said, “There’s wasn’t a lot of discussion. Someone said they would have liked a little more background information. Most of us basically knew the topic and supported it.”
