Republican Conference - Monroe County Legislature

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads. Your guidance gives us direction, your wisdom gives us strength, and your love carries us through life. Thank you for being protectors and steady sources of love and support every day.

Today, Deputy Republican Leader Paul Dondorfer hosted and joined fellow elected officials, family, friends, and community leaders to dedicate Titus Avenue in the Town of Irondequoit as the Dr. Joseph L. Carbone Memorial Highway.

This is a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated his life to Irondequoit - from his podiatry practice, to his family home, to his leadership as President of the Monroe County Legislature.

Dr. Joe Carbone was truly larger than life, and this dedication will serve as a lasting reminder of his service, friendship, and love for the Irondequoit community for generations to come.

“Dr. Joe Carbone was one of a kind. Beyond being a dedicated public servant, to so many who knew him personally, he was a loyal friend and a true giant in our community,” said Deputy Republican Leader Paul Dondorfer. “Joe was outspoken, humorous, refreshingly honest, and always committed to doing what was right for the people he served. Dedicating Titus Avenue in his honor is a fitting tribute to a man whose impact on Irondequoit and Monroe County will be felt for generations.”

Today, Republican Leader Sean McCabe called for a meeting with Monroe County Clerk Jamie Romeo to discuss the newly implemented online records fees and how we can reduce costs for our small businesses and residents.

Residents, small businesses, attorneys, title companies, lenders, real estate professionals, and others now face repeated per-page fees to download or print public documents, even when using their own printer, ink, and paper. We understand the importance of protecting sensitive information and strengthening online security - but we must also make sure Monroe County does not create unnecessary financial barriers between taxpayers and public records.

There is a better way to balance security, transparency, and affordability. The Republican Conference is calling for a fairer and more predictable fee structure for the people and businesses who rely on these records every day.
