The new year brings changes to the leadership at Saratoga County, and as WAMC’s Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief Lucas Willard reports, the moves are highlighting divides within county government.
The Saratoga County Board of Supervisors held its organizational meeting for 2021 on Wednesday.
With a new year came the selection of a new county board chair, with a weighted majority of supervisors choosing Moreau Supervisor Todd Kusnierz, a Republican.
“Quite frankly, I think the Board of Supervisors were looking for someone who would effectively lead the county and I think that’s why my name was put forward,” said Kusnierz.

BALLSTON SPA – A 7-hour marathon meeting of the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors, much of it in closed, executive session, authorized Ballston Supervisor Eric Connolly “to decide and facilitate what, if any, action should be taken to any personnel as a result of the findings” about the county s pandemic pay program.
On Thursday, Connolly wouldn t say what steps he ll take to determine recommendations regarding the roundly criticized and discarded plan that paid some employees, administrators and elected officials time and a half for every hour worked during the early days of the pandemic.
