The ongoing legal battle between Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard and the county Legislature became even more public just before this past weekend. County Manager Jack Wheeler posted a video on Facebook last Friday stating the Legislature found it necessary to respond to some of the public comments made by the Sheriff.
In response to the video, Sheriff Allard released the following statement:
“The Manager’s statement is confusing and misinformed. It is unfortunate that as we try to move forward with a functional government that the manager still feels the need to issue a statement on something that could have been solved months ago. I encourage our taxpayers to look into the amount of money that County administration has spent mischaracterizing the issues to the public.”
