Citizens Nominate DiGangi No Contests for Village Trustee
Joseph DiGangi of 300 School St was nominated by the Citizens party caucus for a one year term as Bennington Village trustee Ward 4 to fill the unexpired term of George Ryan who died last year. Incumbents Joseph Carroll and Ormal Pierce Sr were nominated for three year trustee terms in Wards 1 and 7. Capella, a resident of 107 W Main St, was ruled ineligible for Ward 2 water commissioner due to ward residence rules. Pinsker, Malone, and Edson were named incumbents for other posts. Any vacancy filings must occur by Feb 21 with petitions of 51 signatures.
