Travis Leads Way on Reducing Fair Bill

Cobleskill Police Chief Larry Travis did the Schoharie County Sunshine fair a large favor at the last Cobleskill Village Board meeting. Travis advised the Village Board to bill the Fair less than originally anticipated for Village police coverage over the last two years. Travis and the Board discussed the issue and waived $12,000 in 2012 costs and $10,500 in 2013 costs. The former numbers were based on traditional charges between the Fair and the Village. The original numbers were not based on actual hours served, as was the crux of Travis and Mayor Galasso's argument.
