(Don Mathisen/AllOTSEGO.com)More than 100 citizens turned out in the Hartwick Community Center this evening to hear sometimes lively exchanges between candidates for town supervisor, from left, Town Supervisor David Butler, Bob O’Brien and Juli Sharratt. O’Brien won the Republican primary, and the GOP was able to bump Sharratt off the Democratic line and Butler off the Conservative line. However, both Sharratt and Butler will appear on independent lines in the Nov. 3 general election ballot. County Rep. Ed Lentz, D-New Lisbon, and his challenger, Republican Meg Kennedy, and other candidates also appeared.
