Not one from Jefferson County

Today in Syracuse The Working Families Party is conducting a seminar on Energy and Jobs. Elected officials from all over the general region were invited.
I glanced through the list of elected officials planning to attend and found out that not one from Jefferson County was listed. Too bad.
