She is also a member of the state Association of County Health Officials and notes that organization opposed legalization of marijuana in the past and plans to oppose it again. “We really are of the opinion as local health officials and local health departments that legalization of regulated marijuana will lead to dangerous public health outcomes,” she told members of the legislature’s Human Services Committee.

One Chautauqua County legislative committee is backing a proposal to increase salaries of high-end managers.
During the legislature’s Audit and Control Committee meeting Thursday, members unanimously agreed to a local law to adjust the management salary ranges to 1.5%.
Earlier in the week, the legislature’s Administrative Services Committee failed to back the raises. Regardless of committee action, the full legislature must still approve the local in order for the raises to take effect.
Human Services Director Jean Riley told the Audit and Control Committee that there are 12 high-end managers who would be affected by the raise. Administrative Services Committee members were told there were six people, however Riley said that is incorrect.
