In Deferiet, The Political Play of the Year

   The newly appointed Mayor of Deferiet was on display tonight at the Bernier Carr Christmas party.  Janet Zando pulled off a brilliant move as she got herself appointed to the vacant mayoral seat after the incumbent was defeated by a write-in candidate who then declined to take the oath.

Mayor Janet Zando and Me

        Mayor Zando is a niece of the longtime County Legislator Gino Zando, but her ascent in Deferiet politics is nothing short of amazing.
        I also ran into mayors from West Carthage, Herrings and Gouverneur at the soire held at the Black River Valley Club.
