Chairperson, Hannah Shippee (left), of Hammondsport, NY kept things rolling along nicely as 17 young folks ran a "mock" meeting of the Stuben County Legislature yesterday. Maeve Olney (right) served as clerk, reading off the roll, and recording the votes as they voted to approve conversion of methane to electricity at the landfill, recycling initiatives at area schools, recycling of electronic equipment at the landfill, additional efforts to reduce teen pregnancy, prohibition of all tobacco use on the Stuben County office campus and facilities, establishment of a new county park, repairs to County Route 85, and extra efforts at improving the local economy! They did narrowly vote down money to purchase additional land for expansion of the landfill.Our world will be in good hands if the young adults at the Stuben County Legislative Chamber yesterday afternoon are any measure!
