To the Editor:

The primary election was on Feb. 26. In Nunda Township, it was a race for the highway commissioner, an office that Don Kopsell has held for as long as I can remember. As of the writing of this letter, it remained close.

I do know that the compensation budgeted for this position is $94,740 a year. We as taxpaying voters should know this. And let’s not forget about the many benefits and perks that go along with the job, including a wonderful retirement plan to look forward to. This is only at the the township level. What do you think is happening on the county level?
