The Town of Lloyd swore in their
public officials at a ceremony on Friday
morning, Jan. 1 at the firehouse on
Milton Avenue.
Supervisor Paul Hansut welcomed
everyone and took a moment to acknowledge the sacrifices that families of candidates made during the campaign season.
“On a day like this when we gather to
celebrate our success and our election it
is actually you we’d like to honor today,”
he said. “We thank you for your support
and we thank you for your love.”
Hansut is looking forward to 2016.
“I think we have a lot of good things
planned for the future, moving our town
and community forward,” he said. “With
the help of the community and our families we will do that.”
Town Justice Eugene Rizzo, who has
served the community for 31 years, presided over the swearing-in ceremony. He
said campaigns can be “a bit testy” but
he reminded everyone that “we are all
residents of the Town of Lloyd and more
importantly, we are all friends. So, now

Marlborough Town Clerk Colleen
Corcoran swore in the town officials
on New Year’s Day at the Town Hall.
In quick succession she administered
the oaths of office to Al Lanzetta as
Town Supervisor, Ed Molinelli and Scott
Corcoran as Town Councilmen and John
DeMarco as Deputy Town Supervisor,
an appointed position. Judge Michael
Kraiza administered the oath to new
town Justice Daniel Jackson.
Lanzetta addressed the public.
“First I want to thank God for this
opportunity to serve you once again, the
community of Marlborough and thank
you to my family,” he said. “This is a
great community and I am very, very
upbeat about 2016. I think this is going
to be a great year for Marlborough and
I think we’re on the upward-bound. It’s
all about family, community [and] let’s
join each other, lift each other up and
this will be a great year. Thank you very
much.”
Councilman Scott Corcoran thanked
his wife and children “for supporting
me for the last four years because it’s
been a rough four years as far as getting
adjusted to this job. We do this job, all of
us, because we love our town. We don’t
always agree but in the end it’s just for
our town and we’re trying to do our
best. Thank you.”
Subsequently, Lanzetta said, “I am
back after six years.” He said in the interim much has changed in Marlborough,

economy and the significant tax impact
from the bankruptcy/reassessment of
