Minority Point of View
The 2013 draft budget has been released and now it’s time for the legislature to make some serious cuts. We need to reduce the budget by $3 million and possibly more. Each year, throughout the year, we in the minority caucus fight the wasted tax dollars that the majority foolhardily spends.

Reapportionment – Why you should care
Every ten years, the county legislative districts we live in are reviewed and changed where necessary because of changes in population. These changes are supposed to ensure that all the county’s districts are roughly equal in population. Just as important, these new districts are supposed to be designed in a way that voters and communities are fairly represented in the county legislature.

Minority Point of View
The August 12 meeting of the Oswego County Legislature was a true display of the reckless and complete disregard the leadership and many of the Republican legislators have for the process of governing for the people.
