Wellsville Police Chief says Mackney "stands behind fiscal accountability"

Dear Editor:
Over my 24 years in local law enforcement I have grown to know Walter (Walt) Mackney. Whether it was as a uniformed Trooper or leading the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task (STRDF), I have always found Walt to be knowledgeable on law enforcement issues. The STRDF is a task force comprised of officers from multiple area police agencies working together to fight the rising drug epidemic throughout the Southern Tier. Walt gained valuable experience in inter-agency cooperation and in personnel supervision as a NYSP Senior Investigator assigned to STRDF. Outlined in his campaign and crucial to providing effective and reliable law enforcement, Walt promotes inter-agency cooperation, as agencies work together in an effort to achieve their objectives. In addition, Walt stands behind fiscal accountability. As a former County Legislator and a taxpayer, we all know this is important. Do more with less seems to be trend. I wish Walt well in the upcoming election and know that if he is elected, he will do a great job serving the citizens of Allegany County.
Sincerely,
Tim O’Grady
