For the first time in more than a decade, the Town of Ithaca will have a new supervisor.
Residents of the Town of Ithaca, a horseshoe-shaped municipality that borders but is separate from the City of Ithaca, voted this past Tuesday in the Democratic primary for Town Supervisor. The Town overwhelmingly voted for Herb Engman.
Despite a low voter turnout of roughly 23 percent, Engman, a Town of Ithaca board member, beat incumbent Cathy Valentino for town supervisor by roughly 656 votes.
