Rockland County Legislature Overrides Two of the County Executive’s Budget Vetoes

The Rockland County Legislature voted unanimously Tuesday night to override two of the County Executive’s budget vetoes. They decided to provide $12,500 in funding to two local nonprofit organizations. The County Executive’s veto of a Water Task Force Special Assistant survived a legislative vote with Republicans voting to support the County Exec’s move. In a statement Legislator Harriet Cornell said failure to support the position could prevent Rockland from becoming water self-sufficient.
