Truckers, coalition spar

SKANEATELES - Representatives from Truckers and Citizens United won't have to wait for a deadline they set of Tuesday to find out if local officials will meet their demands in order to call off a convoy protest scheduled for Friday, Nov. 28 in Skaneateles.

“In this day and age, they should know better than to try threats,” Owasco Supervisor John Klink said Thursday after a meeting of the Upstate Safety Task Force - which includes representatives of municipalities from Cayuga, Onondaga and Tompkins counties.

Also attending the meeting were local haulers, truck companies, the state Motor Trucking Association, and the Truckers and Citizens United.
