Candidates take their best shots
AUBURN - Personal attacks and copious rebuttals filled the Auburn mayoral debate.
Current mayor Timothy Lattimore, councilor David Dempsey, and former fire chief Michael Quill spent the majority of a forum Tuesday at Cayuga Community College talking about two hot topics of the race, the Auburn Fire Department and the nicknamed “Brawl at City Hall.” Voters will select one as Auburn mayor on Tuesday.
The candidates jumped in with the 15-person minimum for the fire department and the overtime that some say resulted from this increase in employees per shifts. Quill, the department head at the time, has said the city manager, then John Salomone, and corporation counsel negotiated the union contract. He added that the city has failed to fill vacancies within the fire department, also a key factor in growing overtime costs.
