POUGHKEEPSIE – The flap,
last week, over alleged ethnically insensitive comments in the Democratic
caucus by often outspoken legislator Joel Tyner, got only very brief attention
during the monthly Dutchess County Legislature meeting Monday night.
Republican James Miccio offered a unanimous consent resolution to censure
Tyner. One objection was all that was needed to defeat a unanimous consent,
and that came from Tyner.
That took about five seconds.
A censure resolution will appear as a standard agenda item at the July meeting.
