AUBURN -- Several Cayuga County Legislators look forward to June when the public will have the opportunity to voice their opinions on amendments the county is trying to make to revise the 1995 term limit law.

The proposed law states no person shall be elected to more than three terms on the Cayuga County Legislature.

In April, the Government Operations Committee voted 3-2 to set the date for the hearing, but Tuesday night, the committee chairman believed it necessary to open discussions once more in an effort to reaffirm the decision made by committee members last month.

During the meeting, committee members voted down a motion 3-2 by Peter Tortorici, R-Auburn, to add to the proposed local law that if a legislator resigns a seat mid-term they can't be reappointed back to the Legislature right away and must wait until the next election when constituents have the opportunity to vote them back into the seat.

The proposed law eliminates the word consecutive and 12 years, the two parts of the local law that Daniel Schuster, D-Auburn, said causes the biggest problems and most confusion.
