2 villages prepare for downsizing votes
Written on August 17, 2010
Voters in Sloan and Williamsville will decide on Tuesday whether to eliminate those villages.
Polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m.
Villages are subdivisions of towns in New York. Hamburg attorney Kevin Gaughan claims that this system results in additional taxation and occasional duplication of services. He has vowed to purse dissolution referendums in other villages in Erie County.
Williamsville is part of the Town of Amherst, and Sloan is part of the Town of Cheektowaga.
