County legislators shouldn’t take raise during time of fiscal stress

I’m absolutely astounded that Orleans County plans a budget that increases taxes. Unemployment is up and food distribution is up.

Where do legislators believe the people will come up the money? Citizens live within the budget they currently have. Why can’t our local government? Will they feed people and pay their bills?

We suck it up, so should Orleans legislators.
