COURT UPHOLDS $6.8 MILLION IN LEGISLATURE'S BUDGET REDUCTIONS, CUTTING THE LEVY

The Erie County Legislature accepted the rulings issued by State Supreme Court Justice John A. Michalek Monday, including upholding $6.8 million in 2009 budget adjustments made by the County Legislature.

Attorney Paul Cambria of the law firm Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria LLP presented the County Legislature's case to Justice Michalek during Monday's court session.

"The legislature's attorneys successfully presented its case for cutting expenses in the budget. The County Legislature acted properly in amending the 2009 County budget to reduce the property tax increase proposed by the County Executive," County Legislature Chair Lynn M. Marinelli (D-Buffalo, Tonawanda) said.
