Legislature hears voices of opposition

OWASCO - An orange bucket awaiting the names of “yes” speakers sat empty.

The Cayuga County Legislature took public comment Wednesday night regarding a proposed settlement with the Cayuga Indian Nation of New York. Legislature Chairman George Fearon, R-Springport, had wanted to strike a balance between positive and negative viewpoints of the proposed settlement. But public comment in the Emerson Park pavilion was a landslide of opposition.

On Monday, the boards of the town of Springport, the village of Union Springs and the Union Springs School District voted unanimously in opposition to the proposed settlement, which was negotiated by Brian Laudadio, of the Harris Beach law firm and the county's attorney for tribal affairs.
