[/caption]Here we are at the end of January, 2011, watching the repercussions of the 2010 elections take effect across the board and activity is starting for the upcoming local village contests in March. In Catskill, local Democrats will be meeting at the Greene County Courthouse, 320 Main St., at 7 p.m. Thursday, January 20, to discuss and possibly decide on candidates for two open positions in the Village of Catskill election set for March 15. Two positions are up for re-election, one Village Trustee and one Village Justice. Incumbent Joe Kozloski, a Democrat, has communicated his intent to stand for re-election, and party officials noted in a recent email that they are currently seeking candidates to face incumbent Village Justice Bill Wooten, a Republican. Expect more news of local village caucusing, and candidate declarations, in the coming weeks as well as a slew of Meet the Candidate events sponsored by WGXC with moderation by local chapters and officials of the League of Women Voters.
