Bill Waller Resigns As Cooperstown GOP Chairman
|
|
 COOPERSTOWN Village Republican Chairman Bill Waller resigned from the helm of the local GOP committee last evening at a candidates' gathering at the home of Glenn Hubbell. Waller cited his wife's health -- Mayor Carol B. Waller is suffering from arthritis -- as the main reason. However, with the mayor supporting the Democratic candidate to succeed her, Trustee Jeff Katz, there was some question whether Bill Waller -- who has declined to say he supports the Republican candidate, Joe Booan -- could effectively chair the party through this campaign season. After Waller read a prepared statement -- Booan, trustee candidates Doug Walker and Chip Dunn, and village justice candidate Mike Molloy were present -- Hubbell agreed to handle party business until a meeting can be held next week to replace Waller. CAPTION: Bill Waller, right, examines paperwork at the Thursday, Jan 21, Republican caucus, while the party's mayoral choice, Joe Booan, signs the necessary form to run. |
