The newly formed Warren County Libertarian Party chapter will join in the call for Warren County Board of Supervisors to appoint a "citizens committee" to advise the board on county government structure, said Chris Schmidt, the chapter's state representative.

The chapter is not taking a position at this point on whether the county should convert to a legislative structure or keep a board of supervisors structure, but feels it is important for the board to thoroughly evaluate both options. Schmidt said in a telephone interview.

"Equal representation" is one of the chapter's priority issues, he said.

The chapter also will urge Glens Falls Common Council to redraw ward boundaries in the city to achieve equal population in each ward, Schmidt said.

Schmidt said the chapter has agreed to open its membership to residents of Washington and Saratoga counties, but will focus solely on elections in Warren County.

The committee hopes to have a slate of candidates for the 2017 municipal elections, he said.
