Nancy Kern reports for Columbia-Greene Media that the two Tannersville Village trustees who were accused of not living within the village, have resigned. David Gallagher sent a resignation letter July 14, and Kim Thompson told Mayor David Schneider last week that she was leaving office. Resident George Kelly is happy about the decisions. “I was the only one with the gumption to go against these lackeys of the Hunter Foundation.... The village will be better off. It is a relief that justice was served. Laws are laws for a reason.” The state requires village board members to live within village boundaries. Former Mayor Lee McGunnigle has filed a lawsuit questioning Gallagher and Thompson's status as village residents. Gallagher’s attorney Kathleen O’Keefe sent a letter March 13 saying that Gallagher is a resident of the village. Thompson did not provide similar proof. In his resignation letter, Gallagher did not address the controversy, saying instead, “The current board and mayor are interested in doing the right thing and appointing people who will move the village in the right direction, and because I am comfortable with their leadership, I am good with my decision to step down. Tannersville will always be my home.” Read the full story at HudsonValley360.com.
