\"\"<\/a>SINCLAIRVILLE – The Post-Journal <\/em>is reporting\u00a0some residents in Sinclairville<\/strong> are looking to dissolve the local village government.<\/p>\n

Local resident Brad Gains<\/strong> told the paper that a petition containing 95 signatures has been filed by a local tax payers group calling for the village government to dissolve.<\/p>\n

The group believes that dissolving the village will result in tax savings, although a study would have to be completed to show just how much money could be saved. The matter would also have to go up for a public referendum where all registered voters could choose whether or not to dissolve the local government.<\/p>\n

Gains has said the members of the Sinclairville Village Board are opposed to the idea.<\/p>\n

Dissolution isn’t new in Chautauqua County. Recently both Forestville<\/strong> and Cherry Creek<\/strong> residents voted to dissolve their village governments. Meanwhile, an effort to dissolve the village of Sherman Government failed by just two votes in December 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
