OSWEGO COUNTY – Oswego County Legislature Chairman Jim Weatherup stated yesterday that the U.S. Office of Special Counsel has completed its investigation of a complaint regarding a violation of the Hatch Act that occurred in August 2020.
“We received a letter today in response to a complaint regarding County Sheriff Hilton’s participation in a Trump flotilla campaign rally,” Weatherup said. “The Office of Special Counsel has issued a warning letter to the sheriff and decided to close the matter without further action.”
Weatherup said the Office of Special Counsel has decided not to pursue disciplinary action. There is no financial impact to the county regarding this matter.
Sheriff Hilton said he has discussed the matter at length with Chairman Weatherup and other members of the legislature.
“I have reassured the Chairman and other members of the Legislature that it will not occur again,” Hilton said.

Now maybe some people can unbunch their panties and get back to real world problems. You can bet if it was a Biden Harris flag or anyone but Trump it wouldn’t have bothered anyone. Everyone is offended by everything. You should be more offended as a tax payer that the Oswego teachers union is fighting to keep from returning kids to school 5 days a week or for a full day. They claim to need the all the extra time for planning. hahaha sure you do!!

If the discussions were held on the County’s time, the financial impact was a waste of time and facilities. Hilton/Cuomo party
