Mentz looking for new town board member

The Town of Mentz is looking for a new board member to replace one that moved.

Luigi Anelli, who served on the board for about three years, moved to Syracuse a few weeks ago, and the board is considering applicants to fill the position until December 31.

Anelli was elected to a four-year term in 2005. In August, Annelli, who was employed by the state Canal Corporation as a permit coordinator, was accused of doing town and personal business on company time.
