Wolcott, N.Y. — After a group filed a petition for dissolution last November, village residents voted 317-67 against the measure during a referendum Tuesday. The move would have consolidated Wolcott into a single town, and would have left 14 people without jobs, including two police officers."We are looking for a change, a little bit more activity in the village," said Wolcott resident Gary Grambo. "If the village does stay, we want to see a little more accountability for what's going on."
According to the state's website, the consolidation of local governments is often done to reduce tax rates and improve service efficiencies.
