“In our cemeteries are the stories of the people who built Otsego County, who had vision and acted upon it, despite, I have no doubt, people telling them their ideas wouldn’t work or were pipe dreams. Again, people fought a revolution! Imagine if they had listened to [those] who told them they’d never succeed. “This is the Otsego County history we should have in mind when we think about our present and future,” Katz emphasized.…

I would be remiss if I did not single out Alicia Chase for thanks and recognition. In a world where not everyone helps, not everyone shows up, and not everyone works, Alicia is the opposite. She is consistently the hardest working public servant in our community.…
