Flooding flushes out a new candidate in Middletown supervisor race | Watershed Post

Flooding flushes out a new candidate in Middletown supervisor race | Watershed Post: "Irene and then Lee pummelled the Middletown hamlets of Margaretville, Fleischmanns and Arkville, Jake Rosa -- a local sawmill operator who's currently the town's deputy supervisor -- had no intention of seeking the town's top elected office. But since the devastating floods, Rosa says, he has been asked by many local residents to throw his hat in the ring.

With incumbent Len Utter stepping down, and three relative newcomers to town politics in the running (Joe Moskowitz, Marjorie Miller, and Wayd Jaquish, all running as independents), Rosa -- a registered Republican -- says he thinks Middletown needs someone with more town government experience at the helm.

Below: A letter from Rosa announcing his intention to run as a write-in candidate. --Ed."
