Way to go Congressman Tonko. It is going to be such a relief having a congressperson who knows the people of our area and won't be afraid to look out for our interests.

No worse choice than Cuomo. We have already had to endure 6 years of a Senator who used her office solely as a springboard for her personal ambition rather than doing ANYTHING for New York. Cuomo would be worse than Mrs. Bill Clinton.

There is a huge conflict of interest underlying this entire issue and I would hate to see our library suffer because of the actions of stealth politicians. The library building belongs to the city under a long term arrangement with the Carnegie trust as I recall. The library board reconstituted itself as a community library expanding their base (and hence votes on budgets) to the entire school district.
So it would appear that there are checks and balences in place to protect the taxpayer's monies.
Yet one of the members of the library board is also the chairperson of the Republican party for the city of Gloversville. That might not be an issue of concern, after all this is a small town, except for the method in which she got her political position. During a vote for committeeperson in her ward, she was voted out of office. For reasons as yet unexplained, she was appointed to the committee and then elected chairperson of the city committee, a position in which she will decision making capabilities as to party support for city councilpeople. This may be unimportant, but since public monies are involved, and the survival of our library building might hang in the balence, all decision makers need to be aware of the roles of the partcipants.
