local officers. Furthermore, this article recognizes that the State
Legislature amended Public Officers Law, § 3, adding a new
subdivision (24) expanding the residency requirements for any appointed
public office in the Town of Beekman, Dutchess County, New York, thereby
rendering Public Officers Law a special law with respect to any appointed
Town officer. [See cf N.Y. Op. Atty. Gen. (Inf.) No. 91-37.]
