Voters in Fulton gave strong approval to a school budget for next school year and even stronger approval to funding for the Fulton Public Library.

But one of the leaders of the effort to craft and pass a budget did not survive the night’s voting.

Rebeor, a life-long resident of Oswego County who survived a bout with cancer, was selected from nearly a dozen individuals nominated by friends, family members and community leaders throughout Oswego, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties. She will join honorees from across the state at a special ceremony in the Senate Chamber and at a reception at the State Capitol Tuesday evening.

The candidates for Hannibal Board of Education agreed far more than they disagreed at their recent joint appearance.

The only major point of difference came when one candidate said Hannibal probably will have to merge with a neighboring school district in the next three years.  The other candidates didn’t endorse that point of view, but said that the next few years will be very difficult.
