Rundown of Supervisors For/Against Releasing the Report

The fight over whether or not the controversial Fitzmaurice and Walsh Report is continuing with the Supervisors themselves staking out positions on whether or not the Report should be released and when.

Yes, Immediately

- Gene Milone of Schoharie has been the strongest proponent of releasing as much information as possible and voted to prepare the document for release.
- Jim Buzon of Middleburgh.
- Carl Barbic of Seward.
- Sandra Manko of Sharon.
- Earl van Wormer of Esperance.
- Phil Skowfoe of Fulton.
- Tony van Glad of Gilboa.

In the Middle

- Tom Murray of Cobleskill did motion in September to release the Report. At the same meeting he called for funding to complete it to be halted and in October voted against $5,000 to finish the process for release.
- Bob Mann of Blenheim motioned this month to release the Report but voted against the $5,000 for release.

No or Release After Election

- Michael Brandow of Conesville said at Friday's meeting "The lawsuits that would come out would probably be millions."
- Dan Singletary of Jefferson believes that the whole process is a witch hunt.
- Harold Vroman called for an investigation into the Report itself, which would delay its release until after the election.
- Anne Batz voted against funding to finish the Report and said that month that she believed the Report has become political.
- Richard Lape of Richmondville.
- Larry Bradt of Carlisle.

Not Known

- No current Supervisor in the Town of Wright.

Middleburgh Honors Volunteers in Emotional Ceremony

Members of Middleburgh's community gathered Saturday at the Fire House for an event honoring the hundreds of volunteers that assisted in the recovery following Hurricane Irene in 2011. Organized by Carol Coltrain, the ceremony was attended by over 100 people, including many volunteers from out of state.

Mrs. Coltrain started the ceremony with a remembrance of the great work done to assist those in need. She recounted how volunteers began coming on "day two" and the unflagging spirit of both the people of Middleburgh and those that came to help. She praised the efforts of the Middleburgh and Huntersland Fire Departments and the Town and Village crews for their incredible work.

She was followed by Supervisor Jim Buzon who recounted the efforts and the perseverance of the people of Middleburgh.

Mayor Matthew Avitabile spoke next, stating that the progress over the last two years was incredible. He presented the Key to the Village to Josh DeBartolo, Mrs. Coltrain, Jiggy Drinon, and Kitchell Paser for their efforts after Irene.

Congressman Chris Gibson recounted that Americans' division are small compared to their similarities. He said that Middleburgh was an example for the people of the area.

Tatiana Boba of Assemblyman Peter Lopez's office presented certificates from the Assembly for both the people of the Village and Town of Middleburgh.

Volunteer coordinator Jack Hill said that Middleburgh's residents showed their appreciation for both himself and the volunteers and that he was proud of the friendship and hospitality of the people of the community.

Former Mayor William Ansel-McCabe recounted how he "sat on the steps in front of the old Dentist's office" for two weeks after Irene.

Special bookmarks and handmade crosses were handed out to the flood victims in an emotional ceremony.

A special plaque that came all the way from Arkansas was unveiled in front of the Fire House.

Health Director Appointment May Have Abused NYS Law

The Report still may not be out, but the issues surrounding it are still in the ether. Despite the fact that the actual document has been released, other court documents and facts surrounding the launching of the Report investigation seem to show a pattern of abuse that led to the inquiry.

One of the most common complaints was that Civil Service law was repeatedly abused over the last several years. There have been multiple complaints about the issue, especially surrounding the Personnel Office.

Much controversy has surrounded the events in the Health Department over the last several years. With the departure of Mrs. Kathleen Strack in late 2010, Personnel Director Cassandra Ethington was charged with leading the transfer of the County Home Health program in early 2011. She was specifically not tasked with the role of leading the Department.

However, in the case of Penny Grimes vs. the County of Schoharie and Cassandra Ethington, there was a different tone. In this case Mrs. Ethington claimed that she was not, in fact, the Director of the Health Department. Judge Eugene Divine wrote in the case's decision against Mrs. Grimes that:

"Ethington flatly denies that she assumed or appeared to assume any director role at the department and that Betsy Bernocco voluntarily assumed the director responsibilities"

In a deposition, Ethington wrote that:

"I never told New York State Civil Service that I was acting or interim director of the Department and can only speculate who might have"

However, in a letter to the New York State Civil Service Department she asked about her role to "perform the functions relative to the County's Public Health Director." The petitioner also claimed that Mrs. Ethington regularly told the employees in the Department that she, in fact, was the interim director.

There was also significant confusion on the Board of Supervisors itself on how exactly Mrs. Ethington assumed such a position. At the December 16, 2011 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, Esperance Supervisor Earl van Wormer asked who was in charge of the Health Department. Jefferson Supervisor Dan Singletary responded, "We put Mrs. Ethington in charge." Mr. van Wormer was confused because he believed that she was tasked with selling the County home nursing program and said, "I do not recollect that, put in charge of sale of CHHA." He later added that this needed to be rectified due to concern about liability.

According to the New York State Public Health Law in order to become a Director of Public Health a Master's Degree in public health or a related field is necessary. Mrs. Ethington instead has a two year Associate's Degree in Business Administration.

The Schoharie County Policies and Procedures manual describes the Personnel Officer being one of the people that employees can report claims of harassment to. So if an employee of the Health Department needed to complain about her role as Health Director, they would complain to... her as Personnel Director.

Vote in the New Schoharie News Poll

Time to vote in the newest poll on our sidebar. After the Supervisors of the County have an approval rate lower than Congress it is time to find out what you think about your own representative. Make sure to vote in the poll and check back for updates.

County Board Approval Rating at 4%

The Schoharie News poll on our sidebar has garnered some interesting results. The unscientific poll has been on the site for six days and has measured great dissatisfaction in the job performance of our sixteen Supervisors. Taking place both before and after the County Board decided not to release the Fitzmaurice and Walsh Report, the poll shows residents up in arms.

Do You Approve of the Job Performance of the Current County Board of Supervisors?

Yes: 8 -- 4%
No: 196 -- 96%

For the Supervisors looking for re-election this is one of the bleakest landscapes of the last several decades.

Milone: Report Shows "Desperate need of a County Executive."

Town of Schoharie Supervisor Gene Milone, who is seeking reelection against former supervisor Martin Shrederis in a rematch of 2011's race, was hopeful heading into yesterday's county board meeting that they would finally have answers on the long awaited Fitzmaurice Report. Which unfortunately was not the case.

 

Although Chairman Phil Skowfoe's announcement was yet another delay, this time until Thursday October 24th, Mr. Milone was sure of one evident need that this nearly two year old fiasco has made clear: that we are in "desperate need of a county executive."

 

Arguing that "the community needs someone to monitor what's going on" beyond the county board's monthly meetings, Mr. Milone was optimistic that in the aftermath of the report being released that "the board [would] put in policies and procedures to make this doesn't happen again." Including the creation of a county executive.

 

Mr. Milone helped initiate this entire process by making the motion authorizing this investigation by the Fitzmaurice law firm twenty months ago. And with its contents just days away from official release, he appears to be looking towards the aftermath and what steps we can take in order to avoid this again on a policy level and a structural level within county government.

Costs range from just $4.00 for children aged 5-12; $6.00 for seniors 55+, $7.00 for everyone else except for children under 5 who get to eat for free. The event is to benefit the West Fulton Fire Department and all are encouraged to support this good cause.

Vroman on The Report: We Need Attorney General...to Investigate the Investigation

Following almost an hour of intense debate concerning the controversial Fitzmaurice Report, former Board of Supervisors Chairman and Summit Supervisor Harold Vroman threw a curve ball into the mix when he stated that "We need the Attorney General to come down and investigate the investigation," to a mixed reaction of applause and murmuring at the monthly meeting.

Mr. Vroman's suggestion, which came not long after he voted against a motion to pay the law firm an additional $5,000 for next Thursday evening's presentation of their findings and recommendations, turned everyone's attention from the hotly anticipated report to possibly expanding its findings to the next level.

 

Although no motions were made after fellow supervisors advised Mr. Vroman that such a step should not take place after until after the report is released.

 

In a conversation yesterday evening with Esperance supervisor Earl VanWormer, who served as board chairman before his Summit counterpart, Mr. VanWormer paraphrased another comment made at the meeting along that lines that if the state review isn't enough - should we appeal to the FBI and so on? He also defended the integrity of the law firm, adding that they have "no interest in Schoharie County" to risk their professional reputation on.

 

But with supervisors admittedly only knowing parts of the Fitzmaurice Report and not even the final copy the law firm is completing right now: it is obviously too early to begin questioning the results and requesting the state attorney's office confirm whatever findings may have resulted from the $305,000 investigation.

Lawsuit Claim: Ethington's Roles Used in Improper Firing

With Schoharie County on pins and needles waiting for the Report organized by the Fitzmaurice and Walsh Law Firm further allegations surrounding the hiring and firing practices of the County are coming to light. Further research into the matter showed a series of lawsuits and allegations surrounding the County Personnel Office. Two lawsuits alleged harassment and improper use of civil service regulations at the County.

New documents coming to light support the allegations and expansion of earlier claims. Coming directly from Court documents, we can see a clearer picture argued.

Eva Gigandet was employed by the County Health Department through a Federal grant. This grant covered over 100% of her salary costs. She was dismissed in late 2011 even as she alleged that funding for her position was approved through August 2012. She sued Schoharie County over the firing, claiming that her dismissal was done in bad faith.

When she asked Cassandra Ethington about this, the Personnel Director allegedly stated that money could be 'better spent elsewhere.'

When brought up to the Schoharie County Public Health Committee Meeting there was significant confusion as Ms. Gigandet was told that the decision to terminate employment was made by Mrs. Ethington, who was serving as Interim Health Director, though Ms. Gigandet said that Mrs. Ethington's title was never approved by the NYS Health Commissioner.

Ethington claimed that the recommendation had come from another employee-- further adding to the confusion as even the Board of Supervisors were unsure if Mrs. Ethington was simply the de facto or de jure head of the Health Department. Supervisor Earl van Wormer said that the layoff was not suggested by who Mrs. Ethington claimed. The employee Mrs. Ethington claimed suggested Mrs. Gigandet's dismissal also stated that she had not suggested the termination.

The situation grew more contentious as the updated list of organization in the Department was accused of inaccuracy. Ms. Gigandet's attorneys wrote:

"For some inexplicable reason, Ms. Ethington offers these reports to the Court, attesting to their veracity. The only reason for offering such fictitious documents would be to obfuscate the Court's attention from the County's real reason for terminating Ms. Gigandet's employment."

There are also arguments that Mrs. Ethington's positions as both director of the Personnel Office and the Health Department made such a termination not allowable. Meanwhile, the attorneys argued that the move violated civil service procedure.

At the December 9, 2011 meeting of the Board of Supervisors meeting, employees that were informed that they would be laid off made impassioned pleas for their livelihoods and expressed confusion of why the sudden cuts were proposed.

Penny Grimes, who felt she was being unfairly forced out by the Personnel Department told the Board "Fear and intimidation we have been subject to for one year."

The case was ultimately dismissed by Schoharie County Court. The Judge determined that the layoff was due to budgetary restraints and not for other reasons. Part of the confusion he wrote was due to problems in the Health Department.

Larry Travis Takes to the Airwaves in Interview

Cobleskill Police Chief Larry Travis was interviewed at SUNY Cobleskill talking about police issues.

Fracas at Board as Motion to Release Report Blocked

Part of this article is in fragments due to the fact that it just happened and more will come out later today.

Blenheim Supervisor Bob Mann made a motion to release the report. He asked that whatever the Board knew should be released immediately. Supervisor Michael Brandow of Conesville said that he believed that the Report should not be released at all. He told the Board, "The lawsuits that would come out would probably be millions."

No one seconded the motion so there was no vote on Mann's motion.

There was also a motion because the Fitzmaurice and Walsh Law Firm asked for an additional $5,000 to cover the expenses of the report. Phil Skowfoe said that unless this money was approved the Report could not be released. Passed by a razor-thin margin. Skowfoe made a comment directed to Singletary-- he said that the next part of the Report would be forwarded to the Supervisors because only the first part has been finalized and that a second part was still in processing. Skowfoe said that the Supervisors should keep it to themselves. Attorney Michael West will be redacting names from the Report.

County Board Delays Release of "the Report"

A crowd may have gathered at today's Schoharie County Board of Supervisors meeting to see what was in the vaunted Fitzmaurice and Walsh Report. Despite earlier assurances that the Board would be releasing the Report today, there was a surprise announcement.

Chairman Phil Skowfoe of Fulton announced that the Report was still not complete and that there was work that was still needed to complete it. He said that the final section of the Report still needed to be finalized. He stated that the finalized version of the Report could be released next week.

There was no vote in the chamber as there was no Report to be given to the Supervisors.

More information developing. Stay tuned.

No Butternuts: Guilford Mills Back on Market

In a move that will most likely preclude Butternuts Brewery from coming to Schoharie County, the County Board of Supervisors just minutes ago voted to place the building back on the market. The Brewery will not be receiving a second loan offer.

If the Brewery would still like to purchase the building they will need to bid on the open market. Investors had asked for more time. County Treasurer Bill Cherry will be administering the process.

Travis Camp Receives $250 Contribution From Former Sheriff Bates

Former Republican Sheriff John Bates Jr., who has remained publicly quiet since spearheading the failed candidacy of Duane Tillipaugh to the county's Republican committee in June, has taken sides in the upcoming sheriff's election: not by way of public endorsement, but rather by financial contribution to one of the contenders.

According to the New York State elections database for campaign filings, which has Mr. Ethington winning the fundraising battle with over $11,000 raised thus far in the race, Sheriff Bates has not sided with either his former subordinate or his successor, but rather Cobleskill Police Chief Larry Travis. 

In the form of a individual contribution on September 16th, Sheriff Bates gave $250 to the Friends of Larry Travis committee according to campaign's 32 day pre-general report to the state board of elections. His financial show of support is joined by the county Democratic Committee's $1,000 offering and Richmondville Mayor Kevin Neary's $200 contribution over the same period to Mr. Travis' campaign.

Although the former long-time occupant of the Sheriff's Office has remained mostly quiet through out this election, when compared to his efforts in support of his undersheriff Bill Slater in 2009 or Deputy Tillipaugh this Spring, his financial contribution in support of Chief Travis definitely speaks louder than words.

Ethington Winning Fundraising Battle

Todd Ethington's campaign is in the clear lead as far as fundraising. According to the New York State election database the candidates have been raising money since early this year. Ethington has taken the clear lead.

Contributions per Candidate
Todd Ethington (C): 45 donor lines, $13,073.80
Larry Travis (D): 9 donor lines, $2,215
Tony Desmond (R) 2 donor lines, $1,100

The numbers are a bit skewed as 21 of the 45 donor lines for the Ethington campaign come directly from the candidate or his wife. Ethington has also benefited from support within the County civil service receiving the $100 from Jefferson Supervisor Dan Singletary and $100 from County Planning head Alicia Terry.

The People for Todd campaign has also benefitted from $500 from Michael Galasso, the Vice President of Cobleskill Stone and close relative of Cobleskill Mayor Mark Galasso. He also received $100 from former Cobleskill Supervisor Mike Montario.

Gibson to Support Raising Debt Ceiling, End to Gov't Shutdown

Congressman Chris Gibson has taken a stand separate from most of his party on the government shutdown of the last three weeks. He writes on his Facebook page that "As I’ve said all along, this government shutdown was completely unnecessary." He also stated " will support the bipartisan agreement to fund government operations until January 15 and to extend the debt ceiling until February 7. This agreement also overturns a rule issued by the Obama Administration to ignore verification requirements in the Affordable Care Act."

Opinion: No to Dissolution

No one can take away Cobleskill Mayor Mark Galasso's forthrightness. He laid his platform out there during his races for Trustee and Mayor. He was elected in 2011 expressly on the platform of dissolving the Village of Cobleskill and hopes to win on the same platform again.

Galasso's popularity has taken a hit since 2011 in large part to his allegiance to the dissolution cause. Part of this had to do with his shifting of the water district.

Take Galasso's first election as Mayor in 2010. Trustee Sandy McKay was interviewed in the Cobleskill paper and was skeptical of the water extention plan that Galasso was trumpeting.

Mr. MacKay countered that by selling water without annexing nearby land, the village is surrendering its resources without gaining any tax base. 

And, he added, if the village did sell water, the revenue would go in the water fund and wouldn’t reduce taxes.

McKay did make mistakes during the campaign, but this statement is spot on. The water line extension will bring in a new Stewart's but no guarantee of much else outside of Howe Caverns. Instead, it finds the municipality's power reduced and any additional funds floundered.  Due to Galasso's insistence, the additional 150% rate for out-of-Village water has been reduced to parity, reducing the amount of money coming in. Mr. Galasso's effort to divert money from the water fund to the general fund was also not allowed.

The analysis of the cost-benefits of dissolution also showed mere pennies on the dollar of savings. Plans to cut personnel at the police department are contentious while many savings have already been found by consolidating the Village and Town departments of public works. Future savings would be minimal.

Meanwhile, the idea of transforming Cobleskill into a city appear dead in the water. If the Village does, in fact, dissolve there is a likely chance that re-incorporation would be near-impossible.

Just as in Middleburgh, there is a particular distaste with the idea that the residents of the Town could not vote on the issue. Even though the majority of the Town's residents do live in the Town, the prospect of taxation without representation is unpopular to say the least. Beyond this, as the NY Council of Mayors stated earlier this year, in every case of a Village dissolution, Town taxes have significantly risen.

There may be a time for dissolution, but this is not the case. Mayor Galasso's fate may rise and fall with the public sentiment revolving around this and if this is the case there is a clear choice for the voters this fall.
