The sponsor's argument

Why Jake Ashby says this is needed

The Washington County Board of Supervisors, on behalf of the County of Washington, requested that the NYS Legislature enact legislation allow- ing Washington County to hire a Deputy County Attorney who resides in a contiguous county to Washington County.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
