NORWICH – The Chenango County Board of Supervisors unanimously re-elected North Norwich Supervisor Richard B. Decker (R) as the board’s chairman at its re-organizational meeting Wednesday.

This will be Decker’s 11th year as county leader.

“It always seems difficult to find the right words to express my thanks to everyone for your support and confidence shown in me as your chairman,” Decker told the board. “Please accept a simple thank you.”

The board also re-appointed Richard W. Breslin as county attorney, William E. Evans as budget officer, Alan Gordon as public defender and R.C. Woodford as clerk of the board.

In his address, Decker requested that the board’s Finance Committee take a close look at the county’s Office of Real Property Tax Services.

“Everyone of us realizes we have to do something to improve the county’s tax services to our local assessors,” Decker said.
