Katy Cashen

Katy is a long time Claverackian, with a background and a track record of getting stuff done in both local and national government. We talk about what brought her family to the area, to the farm where she still lives, and about her journey into government. She's one of an increasingly rare breed who believe that government's job is to help, rather than to turn everything into a partisan fight. Katy spent 12 years serving Claverack on our Town Board, and we talk about her accomplishments. We also dig into the complexity of the job - it's harder than I thought - and talk a little about where the money to run a town comes from. This is a great conversation.
