Host Emily Sachar and Rhinebeck beat reporter Eloise Goldsmith dig into a brewing Democratic primary for town supervisor, one that got interesting fast after Supervisor Elizabeth Spinzia announced she won't seek reelection and threw her support behind Deputy Supervisor Debbie Hecht. Hecht, a relative newcomer to the area and co-founder of Beck Hook Pride, says she came up through the work: attending meetings, handling communications, learning the town from the inside out. But she's got company. Attorney and former First Vice President of Rhinebeck Chamber of Commerce Amanda Miller is running on a reform platform, term limits, a streamlined planning code, and a harder look at what she calls closed-door governance, pointing to the Six Senses lawsuit as Exhibit A. Town board members aren't taking the criticism lying down, pushing back on Miller's claims about proposed parking penalties and the Amtrak station project. Petitioning runs through April 2, with a June primary to follow.
