Residents Want Special Election
A Limestone man is among three people in New York’s 29th Congressional District who have filed a lawsuit, hoping to force Governor David Paterson to call a special election.
The district has been without representation in Washington since former Congressman Eric Massa resigned in March.
On Monday, Carl Edwards of Limestone, along with Cynthia Alford and Larry Fox filed the suit in US District Court.
The governor’s office says the litigation is without merit because the law says calling a special election is at the governor’s sole discretion.
