Oh who gives a crap. Rotterdam's town clerk position is just a pie in the face, slap stick joke! It makes for great jokes at the water cooler and donut shop!!!
Anyone who dares run for that position better be squeaky clean, cause no stone will be left unturned!!!

The town clerk position should become part time, as evident in EE absence the town did not implode without a full time Town Clerk in the position, I smell savings, lol
But you are! She's tan, she's rested, she's ready to serve!
ironic, probably could say the same for EE, rested anyway,oopps some people may take that as mean, just making a funny to all the way over serious people here, lol
ROTTERDAM Deputy takes over town clerk’s job but says she won’t run for the post BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Justin Mason at 395-3113 or jmason@dailygazette.net.
Rotterdam has a new town clerk for the first time in more than three decades, albeit one who is a familiar face in the offi ce. Deputy Clerk Michelle Gannon was officially sworn in as an interim clerk by Supervisor Frank Del Gallo on Monday morning. She’ll serve out the year at the position and for the five months will be paid at the level of the town clerk, which is $53,350 a year. Gannon replaces longtime Town Clerk Eunice Esposito, who offi cially resigned last week, according to state Department of State offi cials. Esposito had initially submitted her letter of resignation to the town supervisor, but that did not conform with state law, which requires her to resign to the State Department. Del Gallo had initially intended to leave Gannon as a deputy and have the clerk’s position remain vacant until after a special election in November. State law, however, requires a town to name an interim town clerk if a vacancy arises. Gannon, the deputy clerk since March 2010, isn’t expected to remain clerk for long. Del Gallo said she has no interest in running for the position and would rather remain a deputy or assistant in the offi ce. “She’s not going to run,” he said. “She’s just going to do it until someone gets elected.” The field of candidates vying for the position won’t materialize until after September’s primary election. Political parties will have seven days afterward to name a candidate to run for the two years remaining on Esposito’s four-year term and file a certificate of nomination to get that person on the ballot in November. In a three-page, occasionally caustic letter to Del Gallo, the 84-year-old Esposito cited the effect of politics on her health as the driving reason for her resignation. The Democrat claimed that “unscrupulous people” were making unwarranted attacks on her and lobbing false accusations to further their own agendas. Diane Marco, a former Town Board member and Democrat, has already indicated her interest in running for the position. Contacted Monday, she said she’ll wait until September to see if she’s got enough support in the party to make a run. “I think I’d be a real good town clerk,” she said. “I have work ethic and I know I can do a good job.” Marco most recently served as part-time director of the Rotterdam Senior Center before Del Gallo abruptly dismissed her from the position. The supervisor then tried to appoint former senior center director John DeGeorgio as her replacement, but his fellow board members refused to ratify the choice. Ironically, DeGeorgio may now be the top Republican candidate to vie for the clerk’s position. Rotterdam Republican Committee chairwoman Tracy Donovan said DeGeorgio is among those being considered for the nomination. “But it’s really too soon to tell,” she said. Donovan said one name the Republicans don’t appear willing to consider is Lynn Fiorello, the party’s candidate for the offi ce during the 2009 election. Fiorello resigned her position on the town committee earlier this summer and is rumored to have changed her party enrollment. “She probably won’t get the support of the committee,” Donovan said.
So if Lynn stayed faithful to the Republican Party, she would have received the endorsement? HMMM I doubt it. She was tired of being lied to by the party and sick of the games so she left and who can blame her. She should run so we stop having retreads and get someone in the clerks office with common sense and a brain! Yes I know, who cares about the clerks position, its overpaid, yadda yadda, but that is the salary set for the elected officials.
Hot off the press! There is a move to combine the services of the Rec. of Taxes, Town Clerk and the Assessor's Office. Looks like a trump card via the Gov's grant money incentives in play. Word is the "Appointed Assessor" will then assume the duties of all three and this little pissing match between JD and DM will be short lived. Dawn P will be retained as a Deputy at same salary. Hmmmmmmmm As Rotterdam turns!
Albany pols involved in discussions. There may not be a special election after all.

A year? They have been waiting decades for this to open up. DM has been scheming forever for this no work political plum. You think she wants to be a clerk in City Hall-no?
Just heard the name of another great REP interested in running. And it ain't LF who flipped to blank.
