ROTTERDAM Planning board to change guard Denny likely successor to former chairman Yuille BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Justin Mason at 395-3113 or jmason@dailygazette.net.
For the first time in five years, Tom Yuille grabbed a seat in the audience at the Rotterdam Planning Commission meeting. The former commission chairman’s term on the board expired in June and he was aware he wouldn’t get reappointed. He served on an interim basis to finish out 2008. But Yuille was so accustomed to attending the bimonthly meetings, he decided to show up Tuesday as a spectator. “It’s interesting to see it from this side,” he remarked after the meeting. Also in the audience was former town laborer John “ Jack” Denny III, who is the likely candidate to take over Yuille’s spot on the comission. Members of the Town Board are expected to appoint Denny to the board either during their agenda meeting this evening or their regular meeting Wednesday. “I want to continue to be involved with the town,” said Denny, who retired last year after working nearly 22 years with the town’s sewer and water maintenance department.

more crooked dealings taking that expert off for the other one
JoAnn, really? I mean really? Granted, Sal is crazy, however; even you can't deny that the "Denny's of Rotterdam" are the most corrupt & yes, crooked, people around.
I meant taking the other off illegally and putting another on who will do whatever Stevie wants them to do. I dont matter who but it was crooked to take Yule off over there when he had a spot on there already. Yule should sue for civil rights over the lost job
