"The Town of Claverack has been the focus of some controversial plans proposed by county government in the last year or so..."
"...Claverack residents would be better served by a person who will be proactive and not shy away from asking the tough questions and making sure they all have been answered before formulating a stance."
"...One of the new first time participants was the village of Philmont, and they also took the largest work crew. Trustee Robin Andrews, who initiated the idea and supervised the program for the village, thought having a crew to work on walking trails at the recently acquired land at Summit Heights, would be a good use of a summer work group..."
"...Village trustee Robin Andrews, who was there Wednesday lending a hand, said that the village had queried residents on the project before moving forward...Andrews feels the labyrinth could bring more people to the village, which she believes is becoming a center for dining and activities..."
"The Claverack Democratic Committee held its caucus at Town Hall on July 26th to nominate candidates for town offices in the November 3rd election. Robin Andrews of Church Street, Philmont, currently a village trustee in Philmont, was nominated as town supervisor..."
"Philmont Village Trustee Robin Andrews has entered the race for Claverack Town Supervisor in the November election..."
"Kathy Rector's dog park idea suddenly has two municipalities nipping at its heels after Monday's board meetings in Philmont and Claverack..."
..."Although this is an annual event, this tour was weighted with the controversy over the destiny of the center. The county is considering different possibilities, one of which is moving the facility to Pine Haven and another, renovating it on site..."
"...Village Trustee Robin Andrews, a member of the county subcommittee studying the idea, updated citizens on recent developments around the issue..."
"...Life has not been easy for county elected officials recently, especially the board's chairman, Art Baer (R-Hillsdale). Coming under fire for the decision to relocate the Department of Social Services six miles outside the county seat, the board was picketed by sign-carrying protesters and had its deliberations scrutinized by the regional media..."
"The effect of moving the Pine Haven Nursing and Rehabilitation Center would be devastating to Philmont, Village Trustee Robin Andrews told the Board of Supervisors' Pine Haven Committee Tuesday..."
Supervisor Chairman Art Baer (R-Hillsdale) led the Columbia County Supervisors in pushing through the purchase of the Ockawamick school building without much of a plan. The million-dollar+ purchase paves the way for the relocation of DSS, despite concerns from citizens and government personnel. Now they are changing their minds and are not moving DSS, which is good, but now the county owns a $1.5 million building that they don't need and that they've taken off the tax rolls.
