Monroe County Democrats named a candidate for the office of county clerk Friday morning, and in the process, took plenty of shots at the current clerk, Cheryl Dinolfo.
Assemblyman Joe Morelle, who chairs the county Dems, said that Dinolfo's actions are nearly always "in the best political interest of the clerk and her party."
Morelle points to one of the lesser-publicized aspects of the FAIR plan - the plan to reroute county sales tax money to the state, to pay for the county's Medicaid debt. Auto registration fees were doubled, and collecting those fees is done by the clerk. Morelle said Dinolfo was silent on the issue, and that's not all.
"One of the telling moments is the appeal of the county clerk that people not utilize more efficient ways of getting their automobilies re-registered," said Morelle. "Instead of using the Internet and mail, which would save taxpayers money, her appeal was still do it at the Monroe County Clerk's office, because we need the money."
