Steuben County Manager Jack Wheeler and County Legislator Scott Van Etten have filed an appeal about Supreme Court Justice Jason Cook’s decision in the Article 78 case, which overturned the county’s attempts to remove the sheriff’s indemnification. “This just proves that this has nothing to do with protecting Steuben County residents,” said Sheriff Jim Allard. “It’s just unfortunate that things have gotten to this point, and the majority of the County would prefer to move forward,” said Steuben County Legislative Chair Kelly Fitzpatrick.
