Monroe County Legislature In the mid-1960's the
Supreme Court to the United States handed down an important decision
establishing the "one man-one vote" principle. Based on this historic action,
in 1967 the 29-member Monroe County Legislature became this County's chief
lawmaking body, replacing the 43-member Board of Supervisors which had been in
existence for 145 years. The men and women who represent you in the
Legislature are responsible for developing the laws and policies that affect
the lives of over 710,000 residents, including over 230,000 in the City of
Rochester.
