PITTSFORD, N.Y. (WROC) — On March 18, Pittsford Village held its mayoral election, as New York villages are often off-cycle. Several trustee candidates were on the ballot, as well as the mayor. Incumbent Alysa Plummer faced a challenge from trustee Lisa Cove. While the vote is still being ce rtified by the Monroe County Board of Elections, Plummer and Cove (in a Facebook post) say the vote was decided by one. "Extraordinary turnout and I was happy for that level of civic engagement," Plummer said. Plummer adds that close elections with their small sample size are not uncommon, though one vote was "unusual." Initially, Plummer was down by more, then absentee ballots came in, getting it down to one.There was a recount last Friday, and the results stayed the same. Plummer attributes the closeness to the race to changing, younger demographics. According to a Facebook video, Cove ran on a campaign of responsive and responsible government. Plummer adds that she ran on a campaign of financial responsibility, adding that the village is in better fiscal standing now that the legal fees for 75 Monroe are currently off the books. She and her team are investigating other potential funding streams for the village, as well as their "economic engines." "For us, that would be our commercial districts, on Main Street, and then we have Schoen Place, which is a wonderful part of the historic part of our village on the Erie canal," she said. "So really trying to stabilize those areas and support our business community." News 8 reached out to Cove on Wednesday, and she said in a statement: "I'm hopeful that we recognize that our community is split equally, and working together as a team is in the best interest of our residents." Cove added in a Facebook post that she is grateful for the campaign, and will continue to work as a trustee. Mayor Plummer will serve a four-year term. ...read more read less
