WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - Jesse Roshiaâs seat stays open after the Watertown city council couldnât come to a consensus Monday night on who will replace him.
The council voted down approving either Amy Horton or Ben Shoen to the vacant seat with a 2 to 2 split on both resolutions.
That means the group is back to square one. With only four council members, it would take three to approve a replacement.
Council member Lisa Ruggiero voted down the appointments while Mayor Jeff Smith gave both candidates the nod of approval.
