OGDENSBURG, N.Y. (WWNY) - A judge wonât stop the layoffs of city firefighters in Ogdensburg, at least for the time being.
In a decision Monday, state Supreme Court Justice Mary Farley granted the Ogdensburg firefightersâ union a hearing on January 8, at which the city could be ordered to not make cuts to the fire department.
But Farley did not grant the unionâs request for a âtemporary restraining order,â which would have blocked the city from making cuts until then.
