POUGHKEEPSIE – A challenge to a candidate’s nominating petitions will be decided by Dutchess County Supreme Court Judge Christi Acker after a 2:00 pm hearing today. Democratic County Legislator Craig Brendli is challenging petitions submitted by Sakima McClinton, who is seeking to challenge Brendli in the June Democratic primary.
McClinton submitted nominating petitions with 103 signatures. Brendli and another registered Democrat in District 8 challenged the validity of several of the signatures. After Dutchess County Board of Elections (BOE) Commissioners Erik Haight, the Republican, and Hannah Black, the Democrat, reviewed the objections, 44 signatures were invalidated, leaving McClinton with 59 signatures, the required minimum number to keep the candidate on the ballot.
Children s Home of Poughkeepsie named in child abuse lawsuits
Three Hudson Valley
residents are suing the Children s Home of Poughkeepsie, claiming they believe the foster care program was aware and could have prevented child abuse, according to the lawsuits.
One of the lawsuits alleged Dutchess County was aware of the risk of sexual abuse at the program, but did not have any policies in place to protect the children. All three of my clients were raped at The Children s Home of Poughkeepsie by the staff who were responsible for protecting them, said Robert Greenstein, an attorney for Greenstein & Milbauer, a firm based in New York City.
