• Can the Village of Montgomery board conduct business without an attorney? (timeshudsonvalley.com) — Montgomery’s village board has approved buying a new police patrol vehicle, even while operating without a village attorney, to replace an aging car that could fail during emergencies. The same meeting highlighted winners of the holiday house decorating contest and renewed concerns from the fire chief about broken hydrants, speeding issues, and unused gym equipment that he says aren’t getting answers.
