ABSENTEE BALLOT COUNT
FINAL RESULTS:
Tracy 1,143, Grandinetti 1,075 - a 70 vote plurality, just about the same as the machine vote.
O'Brien 1,128, Jablanski 948 - again, more or less of a reiteration of the machine numbers.
DEM MAJORITY ON COUNCIL:
Judd, Thurston capture 3rd Ward seats;
Osterink, Sterling prevail in 1st Ward;
with Cross in 2nd and Hancock-Snead in
4th wards, and O'Brien as President,
real Democrats, endorsed by the City Democratic Committee, hold majority of Common Council weighted votes.
3 OUT OF 5 SUPERVISORS ARE DEMS:
Joe Finn, Staley Keith and Ed Cross
to represent Hudson Democrats on Board
of Supervisors.
Other races were painfully close - a small handful of votes would have made a difference:
Gail Grandinetti narrowly edges O'Hara by 2 votes;
Mussmann misses by just 2 votes;
Miah behind by just 9 votes.
The winds of change are blowing through Hudson. Here's hoping (and expecting) they'll bring real, substantive change to how the City does business as well as what kind of business is done.
We'll have to keep on our toes, and encourage and support (and even criticize when necessary) our new City Council in keeping it's promises and moving towards a new, prosperous City of Hudson for ALL the people!
