It’s troubling to see County Executive-Elect Latimer direct the Democrats on the Board of Legislators (BOL) to interfere with the settlement of five fair and responsible labor contracts with county employees. The same Legislators who are now pulling back the agreements with our unions were satisfied with the contracts when they were voted out of the Legislature’s Committees to be voted on by the entire BOL.
