“The recent information released by the New York Civil Liberties Union raises some concerns regarding previous and future usage of the ‘Stingray’ device."

In the past week I have sponsored two pieces of vital legislation that would greatly improve critical services provided by Erie County. The first was a resolution that dealt with the E-911 wireless surcharge, and the second was a proposed local law regarding designating Auto Bureau revenue.  One of the more important roles of the Legislature is to help provide for the safety of our residents. Both of these items help accomplish those goals. 

Members of the Erie County Legislature’s Majority Caucus kicked off National Volunteer Month by joining dedicated Meals on Wheels volunteers on their routes to deliver to those in need. The home meal delivery program wouldn’t be possible without its hundreds of volunteers.

Erie County Legislator Edward Rath submitted the following letter to the editor concerning a serious issue in the Village of Akron:

Today Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs and Legislator Edward Rath proposed a Local Law that would direct any and all excess revenues generated by the Erie County Auto Bureau into the dedicated “Erie County Road Fund.” Currently, Auto Bureau revenues are co-mingled into the County’s General Fund.
