Green says Leg. District 12 Committee to make another selection to fill legislature seat...

A County Legislative District committee in Jamestown will meet later this week to make a decision on whether to appoint someone to fill a vacancy in that district.  Chautauqua County Democrat Committee Chairman Norm Green says the District-12 committee will gather Friday to decide on filling the seat vacated when Fred Larson resigned to fill a new, second City Court Judge's position.  Green was disappointed that the legislature rejected the panel's choice of former lawmaker Chuck Cornell last month.  He says this panel is empowered by the County Charter to fill a vacancy if the seat was held by a Democrat... so it's an "official" committee.  Following the legislature's 10-to-7 vote last month to not confirm Cornell for the seat... he said that he didn't want to go through the process again.  At that point... Green said he would encourage Cornell to circulate petitions for a special election to fill the seat this November.  The committee can opt to appoint someone until a special election is held... or, wait until a special election is held.  Two north county Democrats voted with eight Republicans to not confirm Cornell last month.
