GLOVERSVILLE – A joint news release from Mayor Vincent DeSantis and Anthony “Tony” Casale Thursday announced Casale will end his 11-year tenure as city attorney on Sept. 4.
“Throughout the last several days, we have met and discussed the history of events that have unfolded over the last several months,” reads the news release. “We mutually agree that rather than going down a path of potential further controversy over the next several weeks and months, it would be better for both the city and Attorney Casale for us to amicably part ways and end on a high note.”

GLOVERSVILLE – When one fifth-grade teacher in the Gloversville Enlarged School District saw the scores of third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students on their English Language Arts exams from 2019, she decided she wanted to think more broadly about improving literacy rates and the preparedness of district children.
Those pre-COVID scores showed that proficiency on the exam, which measures reading and writing skills, was reached by 36% of third-graders, 34% of fourth-graders, and 22% of fifth-graders, according to data from the state Department of Education.
GLOVERSVILLE Gloversville Housing Authority Executive Director Amanda Ossenfort is out of that position, effective Thursday.
GHA Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Brenda Leitt on Thursday afternoon verified the departure, but declined to say whether Ossenfort was terminated or simply resigned on her own.
“She is no longer employed,” said Leitt.
She said she had no other details to relate about her departure at this time, including who will be doing the GHA’s day-to-day duties now until a replacement is found. She said she “couldn’t say” who was administering the authority currently.
Leitt did say that the GHA Board of Commissioners will conduct an emergency meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the authority office at Dubois Garden Apartments. She said the meeting will be mostly a closed-door, executive session.
