BERNE — On Monday, Berne-Knox-Westerlo voters heartily approved a $5.142 million project to reroof both the elementary and secondary schools.

The capital project was approved with 77 percent of the vote: 295 to 87, according to figures released by the district.

In a letter to the Enterprise editor this week, Knox resident Catherine Klatt and, separately, members of the Knox Broadband Committee write that the paper’s recent article headlined “$3.2M to bring broadband to last of unserved in Albany County,” wasn’t accurate.

Marymichael D’Ark was the top vote-getter with just over 47 percent.

Hall, who has worked as a small-business owner and farmer, told The Enterprise, “The primary issue in Westerlo is the lack of open discussion and transparency from the board. Each member of the board should be making independent decisions in front of the public. Decisions seem to be made in advance and the majority always votes together.”

Delaney, currently the town clerk, will be Knox’s first female supervisor after three women previously failed to win the post.

Democrats will dominate on the board after several years of Republican rule that brought government to a halt last year when three GOP-backed councilmen abruptly quit.
