CLIFFORD

Clifford, a retired human resources executive and former schoolteacher, has lived in Somers for 30 years.

She is chair of her condominium association in Heritage Hills, was a member of the Heritage Hills Society’s board, serves on the town’s Emergency Preparedness Committee, and is a member of the board of directors of the nonprofit CAI (Community Associations Institute) Hudson Valley.

Teresa Laura Clifford is a retired human resources executive who previously worked as a schoolteacher.

During the Jan. 6 meeting, Town Clerk Patricia Kalba read a letter submitted by Teresa Clifford, a resident of Heritage Hills, who questioned Scorrano’s appointment. “It is unprecedented to have a former supervisor act as deputy supervisor. Bill Harding left, and Mary Beth Murphy replaced him. Bill was not appointed deputy supervisor. When Rick became supervisor, Mary Beth did not become deputy supervisor. Tom Garrity became deputy supervisor with Rick. He has a great deal of experience and should remain deputy. We also have two excellent council members in Richard Clinchy and Anthony Cirieco. No need for Mr. Morrissey to be appointed deputy,” wrote Clifford, who unsuccessfully ran for town supervisor in 1997. As deputy supervisor, Morrissey will receive an annual stipend of $1,080.
