MAYVILLE – – Lawmakers in Mayville tonight will take up the issue of amending the legislature’s district boundary lines. That after board of elections commissioner Norman Green announced earlier month that he would not approve of the plan approved last year because it contained a boundary line in the Town of Busti that didn’t not follow any road or other natural geographic boundary.
In the original version of the plan, the boundary for district 10 called for a line to be drawn “a short distance south” of Cowing Rd. Green felt that was too ambiguous and challenged the plan. As a result, tonight’s meeting will focus on a local law that amends the previously approved plan and includes clear language as to where the boundary will be placed. District 10 contains a large portion of the town of Busti and a small portion of the south side of the city of Jamestown.
Tonight’s legislature meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. and is open to the public.
