Falls board named in error in Hoosick Falls New board to be reconsidered
Hoosick Falls Mayor Richard A Severson informed five appointees Bernard Savilonis Harold Cutler Joseph Florio Alfred Ferranniani and Paul Michaels that their recent appointments to the Assessment Review Board were mismade by a village you mayor and board. The error stems from misreading state guidance and a 1973 village law that reserves appointments to the mayor while village attorney says villages were excluded from that law. The mayor proposes an advisory three member panel drawn from the first three appointees if needed and apologizes for the inconvenience while seeking to establish a non political assessment body. In Lincoln Illinois UPIs report Paul Rom 21 Chicago was ticketed for driving without headlights after claiming he drove from St Louis to conserve energy. He posted a 25 dollar bond and continued to Chicago with lights on.

Bizzarro Seen As Likely Rensselaer Judge Nominee
Reliable sources report Troy attorney Lawrence J. Bizzarro may be named to the county court judgeship long held by the late Judge Timothy J. Fogarty, a move that has sparked a GOP rift as District Attorney Don G. Cholakis contests the nomination. Cholakis, a popular vote getter, argues he deserves the post while many Republicans want Bizzarro to keep the DA’s office in GOP hands. The Rensselaer County Legislature also reorganized, with Democrats retaining control 11 to 9 and appointing key posts including Joseph Manupella as chairman and several county officials.
