Town Board begins year in a bipartisan manner

The Peru Town Board conducted its 2010 Organizational Meeting on Monday, January 11, 2010.  In approximately twenty minutes the Board approved the required official salaries/appointments for the year. The appointments included the naming of Counselor Brandy McDonald as Deputy Supervisor. Supervisor Peter Glushko stated that Town Law gives the Town Supervisor the authority to name the Deputy Supervisor and McDonald was his choice for the position. Cortland Forrence had resigned effective January 11th stating that he believed that a sitting member of the Town Board should hold the position. Greg Mills was appointed to succeed Lisa Gonyo as Chairperson of the Youth Commission. At the conclusion of the meeting Counselor Kregg Bruno said he wanted the people of Peru to know that Republicans and Democrats on the Board had just worked together without any arguments in a bipartisan manner. He thought they had set a good example for Albany political leaders.
