Two sparsely-worded press releases spit out of the Poughkeepsie Journal fax machine today, each offering food for thought in city politics in Dutchess County.
And that means both cities in Dutchess County.
The first was from Dutchess County Legislator Fred Knapp, rumored to be considering a run against Poughkeepsie Mayor Nancy Cozean, a fellow Democrat. Knapp is holding a news conference Wednesday to discuss "City of Poughkeepsie Mayoral Campaign." He wouldn't reveal any more.
And in Beacon, Mayor Clara Lou Gould, the lone Republican behind the table these days at City Council meetings, is holding her own news conference Thursday.
When I was covering the southern Dutchess beat last year, the buzz in Beacon was whether Gould, 79, would step aside this year after 18 years as mayor. She played the tease this evening when asked if she will have news about her political future: "I think there might be," she said.
That's all we'll know until Thursday.
