The sponsor's argument

Why Dan Stec says this is needed

This legislation was introduced at the request of the St. Lawrence Coun- ty Legislature. It follows unsuccessful attempts to fill these posi- tions. Local officials believe that an expanded candidate pool would be to the county's benefit.

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.
