Register-Star Endorses Austerlitz Supervisor George Jahn for Re-Election

"...we feel that Jahn, who was endorsed by the Preserve Austerlitz ticket, is just getting started and seeing as he was a part of creating the town’s new zoning law, he should continue his work in implementing it....we feel that Jahn is thinking progressively for the town of Austerlitz."

"Jahn has served the people of Austerlitz well and we see no reason why he should not be elected to another term."

Jean Corigliano, a former administrative law judge and current member of the town’s Comprehensive Plan Oversight Committee got the party’s endorsement as a candidate for the second Town Board seat. The current Highway Superintendent Robert Meehan Jr. was nominated for his fifth term in that office. And in a show of bi-partisan support the caucus also endorsed incumbent Town Clerk Susan Haag.
