Citizen panel voted down in county legislature

Democrats in the Monroe County legislature wanted local citizens to play a role in overseeing what went wrong in the Robutrad scandal, but the proposal was defeated Monday night.

Robutrad is the company that billed the county for contracting work that was never done.

The proposal was defeated, 3-2, along party lines.
