Otsego County Sheriff Richard Devlin Jr. and James Powers, chairman of the Otsego County Board of Representatives, are locked in a battle over Otsego County's $114,755,638 tentative budget.
That spending plan, filed this week by Treasurer Myrna Thayne, calls for increasing the property tax levy by 11.11 percent.
It also provides for reducing the sheriff's workforce by three of 18 deputies and sergeants, and six of 45 corrections officers _ cuts that Devlin has called irresponsible.
I'd just gone through a state police road check in Rockdale and they had six people working there -James Powers

Otsego County Treasurer Myrna Thayne has filed a tentative 2010 county budget that calls for increasing the property-tax levy by $1,148,718, or 11.11 percent.
In the current budget year, the tax levy was $10,343,089.
For next year, as the tentative budget stands, it will be $11,491,718.
The impact of the recession along with the continued reductions in the New York State budget for state fiscal years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 remains uncertain -Myrna Thayne
