He also represents Clinton County as Executive Director of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board, which is constitutionally directed to advise and assist the Adirondack Park Agency in land use issues in the park.

Jerry is a board member of the Association of Towns and Villages that represents local government in state-level policy issues. He has retired from a career at the NY State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY. He has a particular interest in increasing the use of wood-based biomass heat in his and surrounding communities.
