LANSING, NY (607NewsNow) — Mike Sigler wants more time on the Tompkins County Legislature. 

Sigler is running for another term, this time to represent the newly redrawn District 8. Sigler, the former head of the Tompkins County GOP, currently represents District 6 in Lansing.

In running for re-election, Sigler says he wants to see the completion of projects like the homeless shelter.

“The new homeless shelter is critical going forward and I’d like to see it based on a treatment model as opposed to facilitating continued drug use.  We also have the center of government that, while the cost is large, could save the county money in the long run.  In Lansing, we still have the issue of a natural gas moratorium that has stifled growth and concern that at least two of our long term and largest employers, Borg Warner and Cargill, have significant challenges,” Sigler said.

Shawna Black also recently announced she is also seeking another term on the Tompkins County Legislature, while five other legislators plan to step down after their terms end this year.
