H. Rose Schneider reports in The Altamont Enterprise that at the Oct. 10 Knox town board meeting, council members of the southern Albany County town debated how much of a raise to give some town workers. Councilperson Amy Pokorny, who is running against the current supervisor, Vasilios Lefkaditis, wanted a seven percent increase for transfer-station workers. Lefkaditis had proposed a two-percent increase. Increases for highway workers were also discussed, and no consensus was reached. So the board punted the decision until after the election, when a public budget hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 8. Read the full story in The Altamont Enterprise.
