JOHNSTOWN A Fulton County Board of Supervisors committee on Monday passed a proposed resolution calling on the state Legislature to curtail Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s emergency order authority.
“There’s a big call for that,” said county Administrative Officer Jon Stead.
The Public Safety Committee took the action, which is subject to final approval March 8 by the full board. Voting no was Democratic Gloversville 1st Ward Supervisor Marie Born.
Stead told the Public Safety Committee that since supervisors discussed taking this action weeks ago, the subject of Cuomo’s emergency orders have gained “more notoriety.”
“I think it’s time,” Stead said.
