THE RACE FOR
KINDERHOOK TOWN SUPERVISOR
In Kinderhook, long-time incumbent Doug McGivney is being challenged by by former Valatie mayor Pat Grattan.
This year, Democrat Doug McGivney, who is the Minority Leader on the Board of Supervisors, found himself defending some very controversial plans: moving the Department of Social Services from Hudson to the old Ockawamick School in Claverack and merging the county-run Pine Haven Nursing Home with the new for-profit "senior campus" being proposed for a site in Kinderhook. It is unclear how the voters of Kinderhook feel about these issues and how they might influence the outcome of the election.
