What funding percentage do you feel that Monroe County should be at, and how do you propose to reach that level?

Appointment of MCC Trustees In the past some nominees to the MCC Board of Trustees have been approved by party line votes in the Monroe County Legislature. Do you support amending this process so that nominees are non-partisan and are thus supported by both political parties?
