SUPERVISORS REPORT:

  1. Craig said there are some things being said in an email by the Town of Sidney’s Supervisor and said that in no way does this reflect the attitude of the County Board of Supervisors.

  2. Craig reported that the County had the opportunity to a grant for enforcement of underage drinking, however, the grant was turned down as some did not want store owners “picked on”. Craig reported he thought this was awful as Delaware County has a significant underage drinking problem. This money could have been used to defer taxpayer money already being used by the Sheriff for these purposes, now the taxpayers will foot the entire bill.

  3. Craig spoke on the unfunded State mandated transportation for special needs persons and reported the County should be able to do this for a lot less than 600k per year. Craig said he voted against this resolution not because of the special needs children, but because of the ‘system’ and unfunded State mandates that are crippling the County. The resolution passed.

  4. Craig spoke on the resolution for work place violence prevention program which included no fire arms on County property. Craig reported he felt the resolution was a violation of the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution. The resolution was passed.

  9. Craig said that regulations of no gas drilling within 5 miles from the NY city resovior will essentiall kill all gas extraction for Delaware County. Craig reported NYC is crippling upstate and feels their overall desire is to make it so expensive we will no longer be able to live her in Delaware County. NYC doesn’t want gas drill because it will give upstate and huge economic boon.
