O'Halloran Running For Full Term in Rondout

Is there a wheel to which this tireless man of the people isn't willing to put his shoulder?:
Petitions for election have been filed by: Costello of 29 Laurel Hollow Estates, Kerhonkson; Wayne Beckerman of 116 Leggett Road, Stone Ridge; David O’Halloran of 230 Boice Mill Road, Kerhonkson; Rebecca Versace of 14 Church Hill Road, High Falls; and Michael Redmond of 4974 U.S. Route 209, Accord.
Robin Yess is among those who are questioning whether O'Halloran really has the time for all of this:
O’Halloran, also IDA Board Chair, will have his hands full with these two posts; although more than a year ago he indicated he wanted to step down from the IDA – that hasn’t happened yet. Perhaps the school board seat – where he is more likely to make a difference – will be the catalyst for exiting the IDA he’s been waiting for.
He'll keep both gigs. That's my guess. Or, maybe O'Halloran will surprise us all and do the right thing (crickets chirping).
