The village of Canaseraga is in a bind. Apparently, nobody wants to be the mayor, including the guy who is temporarily holding the office. Last month, Doug Ames resigned as mayor from the village of less than 600. Stephen Baker, who is deputy mayor, was advanced to the head of the table...but according to the Evening Tribune, he doesn't want the job title anymore either. Help wanted ads haven't seem to work, leaving the small village in a pickle.
Compounding the problems, the village is also in need of a new worker in the Department of Public Works. According to one resident, the village is "literally falling apart."
The village board will revisit the issues in September.
