The first unofficial results from the November 8 election announced on election night were incorrect. The voting machines were not read correctly. The results were re-read at the Ulster County Board of Elections the morning of November 9. The following numbers are still unofficial results.
There are about 150 absentee and affidavit ballots left to count, but the remaining votes are unlikely to change the final outcome.
Town Supervisor
Jeanne Walsh (R) — 1087
Jen Metzger (D) — 1032
Town Board (vote for 2)
Bob Ryan (R) — 1097
Bob Gallagher (R) — 1089
Alex Ferguson (D) — 972
Rich “f-stop” Minissali (D) — 956

THE TRUTH about Williams Lake
Democratic candidates are committed to making sure the Williams Lake development succeeds for all the people of Rosendale, by following the established review process. The process will result in a better development and a safer community. Rosendale needs leaders who are dedicated to serving the residents and businesses of our town, not investors or special interest groups.
THE TRUTH about Joppenbergh Mountain
The town had surplus funds that could have been used to purchase the mountain, in order to preserve it as public recreational space and save money on the town’s parking lot lease. Given the economic downturn, the Town Board ultimately decided it would be more prudent to save the surplus. Democratic candidates are dedicated to reducing spending and keeping taxes as low as possible without compromising public safety.
THE TRUTH about the Sign Code
Almost half the cases that came to the Zoning Board of Appeals last year dealt with sign problems. A bipartisan committee worked on common-sense revisions to the sign code, including a cost-efficient legal review to make sure the code could not possibly be interpreted in any way that could restrict individual or property rights. The opposition’s claims about the cost of the sign code revisions are false, and represent an inaccurate reading of town invoices.
THE TRUTH about Town Infrastructure
• Construction is underway on a new salt shed, and will be finished before the end of the year. The project cost is within the town’s capital budget and will result in no additional tax burden.
• Engineering has been completed for the town’s aging water and sewer districts, and the town has applied for funds from several sources.
• Engineering has begun on the aging Binnewater Dam, to ensure public safety.
• A years‐long, expensive, “no-bid” contract for pool repairs was thrown out, and the same repairs have been done in house at a great savings to taxpayers.
• All town buildings received free, common‐sense energy efficiency upgrades, saving taxpayers over $5,000 per year in energy costs.
THE TRUTH IS
Jen Metzger, Rich “f‐stop” Minissali, and Alex Ferguson take the initiative and get the job done.
