In a post-primary statement, Salina Town Supervisor Nick Paro responded to allegations directed at him prior to the primary by challenger Stella Penizotto.

In his statement Paro accused Penizotto of using “downright ugly tactics” in the campaign over the Republican nomination for supervisor.

Paro also hinted that he would turn the tables on Penizotto, who had filed official complaints about him in April with the office of New York State Attorney General Letitia James.

In her statements submitted to the Attorney General’s Public Integrity Bureau, Penizotto charged Paro with election interference.

“My opponent resorted to downright ugly tactics in her attempt to smear me and win the campaign,” Paro wrote in a July 3 email. “She and her husband made false complaints to the Attorney General’s office against me (and the AG’s office will be focusing their attention on her for those false complaints).”
