Lorna Cherot Littleway in the Columbia Paper reports about the issues voters face if they turn their ballots over this fall. There is one statewide Yes-or-No proposal on the back of all ballots in New York this year. The Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022 would authorize the sale of $4.2 billion in state bonds to fund environmental protection, natural restoration, resiliency, and clean energy projects if voters approve. Locally, depending where you vote, there could be other issues on the back of the ballot. Voters in North Chatham, Claverack, Germantown, Valatie, and Hudson decide on proposed budget increases. In Hudson, there is more on the back of the ballot, as voters their make decisions on a proposal to redistrict the city's five wards. And in Catskill, voters decide whether to allow cannabis lounges in a permissive referendum that attempts to overturn the decision against the lounges by the town board.
