Councilwoman Capriglione Dismisses 'Keyboard Warriors' At Woodbury Town Board Meeting

Commuter comments are apparently not welcome at meetings.

But there’s one quick thing, that seems kind of minor, that I think is worth paying attention to.

Councilwoman Sandra J. Capriglione ran for a spot on the Woodbury Town Board in 2017. 

She was defeated by Jacqueline C. Hernandez, receiving 832 votes to Hernandez’s 1,288 votes.

Capriglione was appointed to the current Town Board by Supervisor Luciani on January 4th, 2024, to serve out the remainder of Luciani’s term as Councilwoman.
