Conservatives to cast votes Tuesday for judge

Cooperstown News Bureau

COOPERSTOWN _ The 2008 election season will formally begin Tuesday, when Otsego County’s Conservative voters go to the polls to select their candidate to succeed Michael Coccoma as county judge.

Coccoma was elected a state Supreme Court justice last November. On the ballot for Tuesday are interim Judge Jhilmil Ghaleb, an independent voter who was appointed judge in June, and John Lambert, a Republican, who is the county’s chief assistant district attorney.

Both candidates reside in Cooperstown, where Lambert is in private practice with former Assistant District Attorney Michael Trosset. Ghaleb’s private practice has been based in Richfield Springs.

Sheila Ross, the county’s Republican deputy elections commissioner, said Tuesday that because the Conservative Party is relatively small _ about 428 voters out of more than 20,000 in the county _ polling places will be consolidated next Tuesday. ``We have to do that to try to save money,’’ Ross said.

All Conservative voters in the city of Oneonta will vote at the Foothill Performing Arts Center. In the town of Oneonta, they will vote at the town hall; in the town of Otsego, at St. Mary’s Church; and in the town of Worcester, at the fire hall.

No matter who wins Tuesday, Ghaleb and Lambert will be on the general election ballot. Lambert will be on the Republican and Independence parties’ lines; Ghaleb on the Democratic and Working Families parties’ lines.

County judges are elected to 10-year terms and earn $119,800 a year.
