The Chautauqua County Legislature<\/strong> once again has 19 members after lawmakers approved the appointment of a Jamestown democrat during Wednesday night\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n

Jamestown\u2019s Beth Kresge<\/strong> of Lakeview Ave. was added to the panel by a unanimous vote of the other 18 members. The vote was a stark contrast to last month, when the legislature voted 10 to 7 against the appointment of Jamestown\u2019s Chuck Cornell<\/strong> to the legislature.<\/p>\n

Kresge will take over the District 12 seat that was vacated by Fred Larson<\/strong> in April, after he was appointed to serve as Jamestown\u2019s second full time city judge. The stay-at-home mom previously worked at Keywell corporation in Frewsburg prior to it closing its doors and who\u2019s also worked for both Congressmen Jack Quinn and Amo Houghton. She will remain on the legislature until at least November, when a special election will take place for the District 12 seat.<\/p>\n

During Wednesday\u2019s legislature meeting, County lawmakers also approved a new, five-year contract with for the sheriff\u2019s department\u2019s supervisors union. According to media reports, lawmakers voted 16-to-3 in favor of the agreement.
