With a permanent solution to the town’s transfer station problem still in the works, the Knox Town Board will hold at least one more special meeting, on Wednesday, July 26, to discuss its options. 

The Rensselaerville Town Board seems to agree that opting to allow marijuana dispensaries in the town will have virtually no impact, given the state’s regulations at this time, and will seek the public’s opinion on the matter in the near future. Meanwhile, it’s leaving the issue of a noisy gun club to the residents affected. 

The Berne Democratic Party is not endorsing any candidates this year, believing that, with only two town board seats up for grabs, they wouldn’t be able to make any meaningful change even if they swept the election.
