To the Editor:After 16 quality years as our Manlius Town Clerk, Allison Weber resigned in May to pursue an employment opportunity elsewhere. Weber asked the Manlius Town Board to appoint Deputy Clerk Carrie Grevelding as her interim replacement until the November election. Grevelding is registered as an independent (non-enrolled) and would need to be on the ballot in November for her to seek election to maintain her position as town clerk. She would have needed to pass enough petitions to create an independent party line on the ballot in November. Due to election law and the limited time frame, it would have been nearly impossible for Grevelding to complete this process.
