Erie County Legislature Chair Lynn M. Marinelli (D-Buffalo, Tonawanda) is immediately appointing County Legislator Robert B. Reynolds Jr. (D-Hamburg, Evans) Chair of the Finance and Management Committee for the remainder of 2009.

Chair Marinelli noted that Legislator Reynolds previously served as the chair of the Finance and Management Committee from 2006-2007 and served as vice-chair of the committee from 2008-2009.

"Bob worked tirelessly on the county budgets, including fighting the county executive's proposed tax increase for this year.
