Rensselaer Common Council overrides Mayor Stammel’s veto
The Rensselaer Common Council has voted to override Mayor Mike Stammel’s veto, regarding the council’s decision to reduce Jason Schofield’s pay to just $100 a year.
Schofield is the former Rensselaer County Elections Board Commissioner who is currently awaiting sentencing for voter fraud.
Last month, we told you the council had proposed lowering Schofield’s pay from $40,000 a year to $100.
Rensselaer Mayor Mike Stammel vetoed that move, but the council held an emergency meeting to override the veto.
