Documents Filed in Court
We won, but Broome County and the Broome County Legislature appealed the decision. Their appeal contains ad hominem attacks, specious reasoning, and stalling tactics. Read the legal filings from both sides and see if you don't agree that Broome County deserves a legislature and executive who support a legal and fair legislative map.
Below, please find the substantive documents filed by both sides below as well as the Hon. Joseph A. McBride's decision and order (in chronological order from oldest to newest).
