From the desk of Supervisor Michael P. Sweeton

WARWICK-Supervisor Michael P. Sweeton recently attended the New York Association of Towns' annual meeting in New York City where he and other elected officials voted on a legislative agenda for 2005. Among these were support to lobby for Medicaid financing reform, increased highway funding for towns, more incentives for volunteer emergency workers, equal assessment treatment for condominiums and local control for setting of town road speed limits. He said the Town Board will work with the association to pass these bills in the state Legislature. • The Orange County Office of the Aging is offering help for seniors in preparing their 2004 tax returns.
