The Democratic Caucus was held last night at the Ilion Municipal building and Mrs. Donna Felker was nominated by an enthusiastic group to run for the open Trustee position in the upcoming Village election.

Mrs. Aileen Sweeney served as Caucus Chairperson and Mary Lupinski was the Caucus Secretary.

When the official business of the caucus was concluded, Donna talked about her experiances in the business world and her qualifications for the job of trustee. Campaign plans were also discussed and all those present were urged to help get out thier friends and neighbors to vote for Mrs. Felker.

The official paperwork of the caucus will be filed with the Village Clerk in the next few days and the race will be on!

The first campaign event, A Meet the Candidate Happy Hour, hosted by Barb Wainwright will take place Friday night at Mr. and Mrs. Wainwright's home.

SEVENTY ONE DAYS

With just seventy one days left until the Village of Ilion election and with the great amount of difficulty encounterd trying to get some sort of newspaper reporting, we decided to try a brand new form of communications, blogging!!

We will, in the next 71 days, attempt to give you an assesment of where the Village stands, what direction it is headed in and what the candiadates say.

A new group, was suppose to hold a press conference today to anounce a candidate, but because of the strange weather affecting the Mohawk Valley, the date has been changed to April, 19, 2007, at 5:30 PM at the Carriage House at Forge Hill Estates. Hope to see as many people as possible there.

The Village is scheduled to hold a budget hearing this evening at 6:00 PM. Makes it rather hard for normal folks to get there, but certainly much easier for the Mayor and Board.
