Rexford Water District bill stalled by town council clash
In Clifton Park Rexford Water District contractor payment of 2400 dollars is blocked as Councilman Donald McQuay withholds approval while opposing fellow Republican Charles McCloskey in the supervisor race. McCloskey said the bill should be paid after a site inspection confirms work completion. The Rexford project aims to serve about 200 homes. A second Colonie notice announces an elderly and handicapped transport study meeting on August 4 at Colonie Center Community Room.
