Drug Sweep nets street-level dealers across the county
Local law enforcement see the Dec. 1 arrest of 25 people suspected of drug trafficking locally as a loud wake-up call.
“Our message to those who choose to deal drugs in Wayne County is: ‘You
will get caught,” members of the Wayne County Narcotics Enforcement
Team confirmed in a press release issued about the far-reaching drug
sweep that involved more than 60 police officers in a cooperative
effort that started at dawn.
Police described the sweep, based on five months of investigation into
street-level drug sales as “the first of many to come,” and one of the
largest in Wayne County history. It is aimed at “putting a dent” in the
drug trade.

Aman says he’s disappointed at village’s decision to opt out
WOLCOTT - When the Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority began
designing the Chapman Corners waste treatment facility in Red Creek
1998, it did so with the intention of solving problems shared by a
number of small communities in northern Wayne and Cayuga counties.
But last week, one of the municipalities, the village of Wolcott, bowed
out of the project, which went on line earlier this fall. The village
board voted 4-1 to opt out after being part of the planning process
from the beginning. Those against the plan argued it would more than
double sewer rates for some in a village where 12 percent of the
residents already can’t pay their taxes.
