Aurora board member quits over sub-station

The deputy mayor of the Aurora Village Board has resigned in protest of the board being left out of the decision to put a sheriff's substation in a Wells College-owned building in the village.

Ken Zabriskie, lifetime resident of Aurora, resigned from the board at its regular meeting Wednesday night. His term expires in 2010.

Zabriskie said he was reacting to “underhanded dealing with Aurora Inn and Wells College's negotiations to put a sheriff's office in the Heary Building.”
