Lytle takes backstep in surprise over the clerk's appointment strategy
FingerLakes1.com, the region's leading all-digital news publication, reports that Kristine Lytle, a longtime employee at the DMV, has been appointed as the acting county clerk of Cayuga County by the County Legislature. However, Lytle learned about the appointment plan through a news article rather than directly from lawmakers, expressing surprise and stating that the timing is inconvenient for her due to her vacation plans in early September.
According to The Citizen, the Cayuga County Legislature plans to appoint Lytle as the acting county clerk. Previously, both Lytle and Shelley Patterson, the current acting county clerk, were said by lawmakers to have supported the appointment.
Lytle, who is the unopposed candidate in November's special election for the position of Cayuga County Clerk, hopes to revisit the appointment plan with county leaders soon.
