| Court tosses effort to take over Dutchess Conservative leadership |
| POUGHKEEPSIE – An effort to take over the leadership of the Dutchess County Conservative Committee by a renegade faction has been rejected by the State Supreme Court. The court ruled the effort by committee member Maureen Natrella and her supporters to place her in the chairman’s seat, was illegal because proper procedures were not followed. The Dutchess County Board of Elections had previously ruled the Natrella effort was illegal. Since the leadership terms had expired with no new vote taken, former Chairwoman Patricia Killian was named to fill that role temporarily. She said Thursday that she was pleased with the Supreme Court ruling and at such time as when new leadership is sought, she will step aside and allow new blood to take over the county committee. |
