Seneca County leaders voice doubts on deal
SENECA FALLS - Many Seneca County municipal leaders expressed skepticism at the first in-depth public presentation of the proposed settlement of the Cayuga Indian Nation of New York's land claim and land-in-trust applications.
Only members of the boards of the towns of Fayette, Seneca Falls and Varick, the village of Seneca Falls and the Seneca Falls School District were allowed to ask questions Wednesday night of Brian Laudadio, an attorney with the Harris Beach Law Firm who represented Cayuga and Seneca counties in negotiations with Dan French, the Cayugas' attorney.
Kathy Russo, a member of the Varick Town Board, said the proposed settlement seemed to come out of the blue considering the defeat of the Cayugas' land claim litigation after more than 20 years of court fights.
