Sculti, Cunningham, Duffy Elected to RGC Commission

The Rye Golf Club Commission election results are in and Leon Sculti, Mack Cunningham and John Duffy are the winners, according to Sculti's LausDeo10580.com blog. 

Seven members ran for the three seats, all promising to keep any more scandals from happening at the club and to work towards a sustainable future for the club.

Re-elected incumbent John Duffy has been serving as Chair after former chair Rich Verille stepped down last year. Leon Sculti, who can be credited with bringing the Rye Golf Club staffing scandal to light, and Mack Cunningham, a former City Council member, have been two of the most vocal critics of golf club procedures and policies over the last year.
