02:12PM / Wednesday, June 18, 2014 | |
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — With a ballot full of incumbents running uncontested, a small turnout reelected eight town officials.
Only 140 of the town's 2,095 registered voters made it to the polls on Tuesday. But, that was enough.
Those voters put Henry Sayers back on the Board of Selectmen; Amy Szczepaniak as a cemetery trustee; Christine Galib on the Finance Committee; Regina Dilego on the School Committee; Ronald Tinkham on the Planning Board; Robert Reilly as moderator and Jane Stevens and Prudence Barton as library trustees.
A seat on both the Planning Board and Finance Committee went with no candidates.

LENOX, Mass. — Treasurer Steven Grossman is expected to win this weekend's Democratic convention.
State Rep. William "Smitty" Pignatelli is hoping Grossman will be the next governor.
"I think he is the only Democrat in the field currently that can win in November. Any one of these candidates can win in the primary, but the Democrats have to look at who win in November," Pignatelli said earlier this week.
"We know who the Republican is going to be. It is going to be Charlie Baker and he is going to be well-financed, really organized, and we have to put up somebody who can go toe to toe
