The No. 1 employer in Chautauqua County is its government with 1,470 employees. Last year, this entity raised property taxes nearly 9 percent and faces another major obstacle this year - an $18 million to $20 million deficit. County Executive Greg Edwards talked about not waiting until the last minute to do something about that in his State of the County address. Let's hope Republican lawmakers were listening.
