CANTON, N.Y. (WWNY) - Jennie Bacon, the Democratic elections commissioner in St. Lawrence County, has been cleared of wrong-doing in sending out an email critical of north country congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
An aide to Stefanik had called on Bacon to resign - and for an ethics investigation - after Bacon emailed a press release from St. Lawrence County Democrats critical of Stefanik to other elections commissioners across New York state.
