SARATOGA COUNTY — Someone with nearly a decade of experience inside Saratoga County government has been named the county’s new public works commissioner.
The county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday named Chad Cooke, who is currently the deputy county administrator, as commissioner of public works effective Jan. 8 — but it happened in a way that showed the political divisions within the county board.
The appointment was originally anticipated to take effect on Jan. 1, but a coalition of supervisors representing the county’s larger towns pushed through the postponement until Jan. 8 over the objections of the smaller towns.
