Michael Ryan reports in the Register-Star that Alan Huggins, who was elected Prattsville Town Supervisor Nov. 8 as a write-in candidate, is resigning, citing poor health. Republican Huggins defeated incumbent Democrat Kory O'Hara by 15 votes. Ryan's story contains an
astonishing, unattributed accusation:

"There had been widespread speculation, prior to the November 8 election, that Huggins would not serve, if elected, and that one of his write-in backers would be named to fill the slot."

Ryan writes that the Town Board, split 2-2 among Republicans and Democrats, can agree on anyone from the town to replace Huggins. Read the full story in the Register-Star.
