Glens Falls Chronicle Serving the Glens Falls/Lake George region; Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties since 1980
Chronicle Managing Editor Cathy DeDe writes: “I am not running for election next year,” Lake Luzerne Town Supervisor Gene Merlino, 80, announced at the end of Tuesday morning’s Tourism and Occupancy Tax committee meeting.
“I know I did this four years ago,” Mr. Merlino said, “but the town did a write-in campaign and I still got the job. This time even with a write-in I’m not gonna do it.”
Mr. Merlino said he will ask to step down from the Tourism-Oc Tax Committee next year, “but I will serve on the Board. Twenty years is a long time to serve.
“I have loved this Tourism and this Occupancy Tax committee. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs, little debates and stuff but it does great job for this community and I’m proud to be the chairman of this for so many years.”
