LATE BREAKING NEWS AT NOON...

The Republican Caucus is TONIGHT 7:30 PM at the Fire Hall. Best get there early at 7 PM.

Latest word on the street is that the GOBs, John Steger, Peter Knapp and Anne Brennan (remember her) are running Barbara Albro for town board. Albro was named to the Planning Board last year and I know little about her. Reports are that she shows up late for the meetings, unprepared, doesn't know the subject and still votes whatever way she is told. Guess that's why they picked her.

I talked to Bob Howe and he confirmed that they cannot stop anyone from coming in at any time to the caucus. They just have to sign in and can vote but not for a vote in progress. New people can come in to break a tie which is what happened at the Democrat caucus. The caucus is an open meeting under NYS law.

Many people do not think that Underwood will be running. That rumor seems to have started because he was appointed to chair the committee as I surmised.

The phone lines are burning up all over Preble and many people are tired of getting called.

I may have more info later in the day.
