Walker Officially ‘Loves
Otsego,' Judge Declares
Marietta Will Use ‘Otsego United’ Line

OOPERSTOWN – Republican Tim Walker is the winner of this round of the contest with county Rep. Andrew Marietta, D-Cooperstown/Town of Otsego, for the District 8 seat on the county Board of Representatives.
State Supreme Court Judge Eugene D. Faughnan today issued his opinion in an action brought by Marietta: “Independent party names are only protected to the extent their petitions for the same office are filed first, for that election cycle. There is nothing in the election law which provides any ‘year over year’ protection to an independent party’s name or symbol.”
