HTN: Downsizing Passes in West Seneca, Evans

Local governing boards in Evans and West Seneca are getting smaller. Voters in those two towns have overwhelmingly approved measures to reduce their town boards from five members to three. Supporters say the move will save taxpayers a considerable amount of money. Opponents say it concentrates power in the hands of just a few residents. Similar measures are on the November ballot in Orchard Park, Hamburg and Alden.
