Barbara Kennedy, who was accused of animal abuse on social media on false evidence, was not charged with any crimes after an investigation by the Albany County Sheriff found the allegations to be “unfounded.”

Listen to candidates' views in Berne. Early voting starts Oct. 23. Will you be voting? What would help decide your vote? Next up, we have New Scotland.

Barbara Kennedy, a Democrat who’s running for highway superintendent in Berne, has been accused of animal abuse on social media, but those claims, which stem from a series of photos anonymously posted online, appear to be unfounded.

VOORHEESVILLE — The village board searched far and wide before settling on a trustee replacement for Rich Straut, who took over as mayor for Bob Conway when he stepped down on July 1 with nine months left in his term. 

The only contest between the major parties is for the supervisor and clerk positions. Resident Brigitte McAuliffe is running for one of two town board seats under her own party and is opposed by incumbents. 

The Rensselaerville 2021 election centers around five seats, but the local Democrats have put forth only two candidates — the same as those endorsed by the town’s other parties.

Robert Conway said he’s got “absolutely no qualms” about Richard Straut taking over for him as Voorheesville’s mayor, adding that Straut has shown himself to be a very capable and talented board member. Conway said he’s sure Straut will do an “exceptional job” as mayor.

The Westerlo Democratic Committee, in a town where voters skew Democratic, is backing three GOP town board candidates for November.
