Several county legislators oppose the use of county name and seal with SAFE Act

Several county lawmakers have co-sponsored a measure that would not let New York State use Chautauqua County's name and seal in connection with the SAFE Act.  County Legislator John Runkle says he has learned about the state's intent from two key officials...County Sheriff Joseph Gerace and County Clerk Larry Barmore.

Runkle-Has the support of eight legislators

The proposal would also apply for the names of the county officers. Runkle and eight other legislators, all Republicans, are opposed the apparent action.  The Legislature's Public Safety committee is expected to take up the measure during a meeting this week.
