Supervisor Corcoran denies corruption allegation, says he will recuse from related matters
Summary
Supervisor Corcoran addressed a published allegation tying him to a developer scheme, denied wrongdoing, apologized for unintended impacts on town staff, and announced he will recuse himself from matters linked to accusations against his brother.
Supervisor Corcoran addressed the public during the Town Board’s Oct. 14 meeting to respond to a recent article suggesting he was involved in a corrupt scheme tied to a developer. He denied the implication, described steps he took to address staff concerns after the article was published, and said he will recuse himself from all matters related to accusations involving his brother.
Corcoran told the board he has avoided entanglements with developers and emphasized transparency: he said he met with Town Hall staff after the article appeared and provided receipts to show a related invoice had been paid. He also acknowledged an error the town made in paying for a letter sent to a Facebook group and apologized for that mistake. The supervisor credited department heads and the budget officer for working together to reduce a budget overage "from being over $600,000.00 to under $3,000.00 the cap." The board did not take formal disciplinary action at the meeting.
