County Legislator Diane Keane stated she was in attendance this

about the proposed plan. Mrs. Keane noted that in her opinion
the County should not become involved in revenue sharing, which

handled by the State. Each of the Board members expressed his
or her views on the subject, noting their concern for local

problems or whether the plan would really help the cities. It
