Town of Fallsburg Election Roundup

In the Town of Fallsburg, where thousands of homes are proposed, write-in candidate Kenny DeMars’ call for a building moratorium became an issue.
Incumbent Democrat Steve Levine, who was leading handily last night, was against it. Ultra-Orthodox Jewish voters from Brooklyn with second homes in Fallsburg launched a campaign to vote in a bloc for candidates who were against that moratorium. That vote may have helped defeat incumbent Town Councilman Joe Perrello who was losing to Democrats Neil Gilberg, the incumbent and Michael Weiner, who were backed by the bloc.
