After spending approximately forty minutes in executive session Friday morning, the Schoharie County Board of Supervisors - on recommendation of County Attorney Michael West - voted fourteen to one to take disciplinary action on Personnel Director Cassandra Ethington.
Mrs. Ethington, who was indefinitely suspended with pay by the county board last November in the wake of the Fitzmaurice Report's release, has been under investigation since the end of fall with little to no movement on her status as a department head in county government.
As of publication, the Schoharie News has not been able to confirm what disciplinary charges the Board of Supervisors or Mr. West had in mind for the personnel director.
Former Board Chairman Harold Vroman was the lone vote in opposition to taking action against Mrs. Ethington Friday morning, as the Summit Town Supervisor is her only remaining political ally on the county board after several incumbents were defeated last election cycle.
Stay tuned as we gather more information on this developing story.

It's about time. She's been paid full salary all along, right?
