'Almost no one knew.' State investigating special South Blooming Grove election
State officials are investigating a special election in the Village of South Blooming Grove that appears to have taken place with little to no public notice.
Village officials re-elected Mayor George Kalaj and trustees Abraham Weiss and Yitzchok Feldman on Oct. 22, but many residents and even local lawmakers say they never knew the vote was happening.
The last village election was held in March 2022, meaning most residents believed the next vote wouldn’t be until 2026 under the village’s four-year term structure.
State Sen. James Skoufis, who chairs the New York State Senate Investigations Committee, says his office began receiving calls from constituents after the election asking how it occurred and whether the village followed proper procedures.
