Absentee Ballot Results

As I am sure you are well aware, there have been some issues with
Absentee Ballots at Board of Elections.

This afternoon Austerlitz had its day and presented our ballots  for review.  Of the 93 ballots that have been returned 39 were opened. However of the 39 that were opened,  it gave us  enough votes that we
needed to sweep all of the Town Board Seats, plus the Town Supervisor.  Even with the 52 ballots that will be reviewed by a Judge for further review, we have enough of a lead to claim victory!

Quick Summary

Braley (R) - 368   Jahn (D) - 304
Verenazi (R) - 397   Pinto (R) - 377   Van der Weit (D) - 278 
Corglione (D) - 275

Haag (R) - 638
Meehan (D)  - 641

It was a good election, everyone was a qualified candidate, and I am
glad that the Republicans shined through to win!

Don't forget to Vote!

Don't forget to vote in this important local election, Tuesday November 3rd, 2009. The Polls are open from 6am to 9pm. and are located at the Spencertown Firehouse!

While you are at the polls voting, please consider the following message! From Desktop Although it is important to vote in every election there is a particular reason why your vote is needed on November 3rd, 2009. Proposition 2 needs your YES vote because it allows inmates to work for not-for-profit organizations. Having inmates from the Hudson Correctional Facility helps the Austerlitz Historical Society prepare for the Blueberry Festival and Autumn in Austerlitz and has had an impact on the success of those annual events. The inmates assist by erecting tents, placing tables and chairs, setting up fencing and signage to delineate parking lots. After the event, the property is restored by having tents, tables and chairs placed in storage. The help of the inmates has been of great value to the society. The inmates have been well supervised, have been respectful and have worked hard and well with the organization representatives. Allowing inmates to work for not-for- profit organizations is also of great benefit to the inmates themselves as they meet volunteers from these organizations who work beside them. This is a brief step into a normal living situation and can contribute toward a successful re-introduction into society when the term of incarceration is over. Please help make sure that the valuable support we receive from this program can continue. Vote YES on Proposition 2 on November 3rd.
