MAYVILLE – The Chautauqua County Legislature<\/strong> on Wednesday did not confirm the appointment of a new Democratic County Board of Elections<\/strong> commission, which came as a surprise to the man who currently holds that position and also serves as the chairman of the county Democratic Committee.<\/p>\n

The vote on the appointment of deputy Democratic election commissioner Luz Torres<\/strong> to be the next commissioner to represent the party was withdrawn prior to the start of Wednesday’s meeting.\u00a0 Earlier this month, Torres was recommended by a majority vote of the Chautauqua County Democratic Committee<\/strong> to replace long-time commissioner Norm Green<\/strong>, who will be retiring at the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Upon learning of the appointment being pulled from consideration, Green attempted to speak on the issue at the first privilege of the floor, but was removed by a deputy sheriff at the request Democratic Legislature Minority Leader Chuck Nazzaro<\/strong> of Jamestown. Only matters that will be taken up by the legislature during its scheduled voting session can be commented on during the first privileged of the floor.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers say they were concerned with the process of selecting Torres and wanted to look into it further as the reason for pulling the appointment from consideration.<\/p>\n

If appointed, Torres would be the first Latina department head and the only woman of color leading a Chautauqua County department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
