ONEONTA – Coming off a week of “Town Halls,” with students, small-business owners and farmers, U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado, D-19, said in a teleconference press briefing this morning that while there were “critically important” national issues, most people in his district want to know “how do we improve the area.”
In discussing how to improve the area, Delgado often framed his responses in big corporations/industry/Washington insiders versus the little guy: i.e., his constituents. He cited a poll published yesterday in the Washington Post that found 60 percent of Americans feel that way.

Chatting with him, from right, are Otsego County Republican chairman Vince Casale; Casale’s wife, Lynn Krogh, an associate with The Casale Group, and Sheriff Richard J. Devlin Jr. Stone, who had recently published “The Making of The American President 2016,” said the Netflix movie based on the book had caused a spike in sales. Controversial dating back to his days as an operative for President Richard M. Nixon, as well as his friendship with President Trump, Stone’s appearance caused Democrats to stage a protest across Lake Street from the resort hotel. (AllOTSEGO.com file photo)
