After nearly an hour of debate Thursday night, the Oswego County Legislature OK’d a resolution in support of Assembly Bill A6146-2013. The proposed bill would require recipients of certain public assistance programs to submit to drug testing. Proponents say that drug testing and screening will help deter illegal drug use and ensure that public benefit monies are used for their intended purposes. The resolution also notes that the state should not turn around and mandate the county pays for the program.
The Oswego County Health Department has postponed its plans to spray the Toad Harbor / Big Bay Swamp area today due to rain, wind and falling temperatures. “We may not be able to spray for the next few days,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “This is partly because of the potential for rain, but, more importantly, because of the significantly cooler temperatures.” Aerial spraying will resume when weather permits.
