Amy Pokorny

In Knox, the town board struggled to approve minutes in a sometimes heated debate of when quotes were appropriate or not. Quotes from Supervisor Vasilios Lefkaditis and Councilwoman Amy Pokorny, who are running against one another for supervisor in the fall, were especially debated.

The Knox Democratic caucus was tense as those nominated mostly by members of the party’s committee were pitted against a slate of nominees already on the Republican ballot. Republicans had earlier nominated a slate of candidates enrolled in various parties.

Knox has gotten a $100,000 grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority after the town completed a fourth and final energy-saving action item.

Although elections are half-a-year away, two candidates have announced they are running for Knox town supervisor: Vasilios Lefkaditis, the current supervisor, and Amy Pokorny, a town councilwoman.

This town wants to be the little town that could when it comes  to fighting climate change.

“We need to be able to communicate openly and have dialogue, not angry rages, to exchange ideas," says Knox's deputy supervisor.

Board members at odds with the town supervisor made the wrong choice to meet secretly; where does that leave the public?
