That's nice, but how about this?

A powerful state lawmaker says Erie County can solve its present financial problems by looking into the past. Now, he’s starting a movement to bring back the old Board of Supervisors.

It’s been nearly 40 years since the Board of Supervisors ran Erie County Government.
State Senator Dale Volker believes it’s time it made a comeback.

“We’ve gotten to the point here where this system doesn’t work,” Senator Volker said, referring to the recent political gridlock that brought a control board to Erie County. “And we have such confusion here.”

Senator Volker is recommending the county do away with the legislature and the office of the county executive, both of which were created in 1968.

Taking their place would be the supervisors of cities, towns and villages from across Western New York. They would direct an appointed county manager, as they did decades ago.

Better yet, do away with it completely and let the state administer its own damn programs.
