The Village of Schuylerville Dissolution Petition was handed in on 3/16/09.

The RSVP Group finalized the Village of Schuylerville Dissolution Petition and handed it in on Monday, March 16, 2009. Unfortunately, it appears that the Schuylerville Village Board has chosen not to follow New York State Village Law and has chosen to schedule a public meeting to review the petition on May 11, 2009. According to Village Permissive Referendum Law, the Village Clerk and Village of Schuylerville residents had 5 business days to challenge whether the petition met NYS Election Law requirements for filing petitions. It was never challenged and the Schuylerville Village Board has no legal authority to now start reviewing it as Village Law specifically states they do not have that jurisidiction. If they want it to be scrutinized, they have to request that the Saratoga County Supreme Court provide this service. More to come on this subject very soon.
