NORWICH – Chenango County taxpayers should no longer have to pay $60,000 annually to lease space for a law library when the materials are available online, say supervisors.

The county currently leases space for the David L. Follett Supreme Court Library as required by the New York State Office of Court Administration. But with the district attorney and public defender’s offices – and even the county’s attorney – all researching online instead, members of the county board say it’s time for everyone to embrace technology.
