Scott Fairgrieve Wins Village Justice Seat BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

W

ith what was an interesting election cycle this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, village residents voted for who they wanted to be their next village justice last Tuesday at village hall. The winner is Scott Fairgrieve, who received 711 votes while incumbent village justice Steven Barnwell received 617 votes. “I wish to thank the voters of Mineola for their trust and Scott Fairgrieve confidence in electing me Mineola Village Justice,” Fairgrieve said. “I want to thank the hundreds of people who went out of their way to make this possible. I will work very hard to do a good job in this new position.” Fairgrieve, who has been a Mineola resident for 42 years, will still be allowed to practice law now that he is the new village justice, after pondering whether or not he would still be able to practice due to New York State’s Constitutional age limitations for judicial positions.
