HTN: Downsizing Votes Set

Voters in two Western New York towns will hit the polls tomorrow to determine if their local governments should be downsized. West Seneca and Evans will ask voters to drop their town boards from five members down to three. Supporters say the move would save on salaries and benefits. Opponents say it concentrates power in the hands of just a few people. Orchard Park, Alden and Hamburg have similar votes set for November and more could be on the way.
