The number of county legislators does not change, the number of county lawmakers remains at 17 legislators.  Bath has been one individual district, and the prop, proposes, that Bath will be combined with Bradford on the county map (this is not a town merger, but it affects what county lawmakers will be representing the people of Bath and Bradford).  Also, if the prop is passed, Wayne goes from District 8 into District 5, and Campbell and Erwin are combined into the same district, with Campbell goes from District 8, into District 7 (with Erwin).

Other props onthe Steuben County Ballot, are specific to certian towns.  There is a proposition about allowing alcohol sales in Jasper.  In Caton, there’s a prop about making the town highway superintendents job an appointed job instead of an elected position.  In Pulteney, there is a library prop, the library is asking for an increase in funding for their budget.  Again, voting goes until 9:00 tonight.
