WATERTOWN â As he runs for re-election to his 10th term in the county legislature, Jefferson County Board of Legislators Chairman Scott A. Gray said his last term has been one of the most challenging, and rewarding, of his career.
Since March of 2020, when the first declarations of emergency were made as the COVID-19 pandemic spread, Mr. Gray said heâs been working as county chairman full time, making more decisions more quickly than he ever anticipated.
According to state law, in a declared state of emergency the county chairman becomes the point person, orchestrating a government-wide response to the emergency. Mr. Gray said normally, those emergency situations last days, weeks at most. But Jefferson County, and New York state, have been in a state of emergency for over 440 days.
