Knox supervisor defies town board

Sep 16, 2016 11:11 am
Tim Tulloch reports in The Altamont Enterprise that at the Sept. 13 Knox town board meeting Town Supervisor Vasilios Lefkaditis bullied Town Clerk Tara Murphy over two words that only he remembers saying. Murphy said the next day, “I was not given the respect that should be given to an elected official.... he spoke right over me….I feel I am owed an apology.” Lefkaditis claimed that he used the term "suggested changes" at the Aug. 3 Knox meeting, but when Murphy transcribed an audio recording of the meeting, all members “were in agreement” with her. The kerfuffle is because Lefkaditis went ahead and sent the town newsletter in his own name, after town board members voted 4-to-1, with Lefkaditis the lone dissent, to make the town newsletter report about meetings to come from the board, rather then the supervisor. That was among the "suggested changes" that Lefkaditis now says did not happen. Councilman Eric Kuck said the newsletter from the supervisor sent local residents reads like “something from a political campaign.” Read the full story in The Altamont Enterprise.
