Our Flag Is Back!

Mayor Announces

Mayor Tillapaugh

COOPERSTOWN – Stars & Stripes forever! (At least for the time being.)

Mayor Ellen Tillapaugh a few moments ago announced the state has eased CORONA-era requirements that all flags in the Empire State be flown at half staff in sympathy for people suffering from the disease or families of those who succumbed to it.

“It turns out that New York State decided to return flags to full staff, but unfortunately never alerted all the municipalities that that is what they had done,” said the mayor.  “The Village of Cooperstown received no notification of it; but a state official confirmed it should be at full staff.”

  1. Apparently it takes a while for the Pony Express to reach Cooperstown with news from Albany. This village is so far behind when it comes to communications. Just look at the village website – pathetic!
