Cayuga County legislator's plan to boost recruitment called 'woke stuff,' narrowly passes Despite being called "woke stuff" by one lawmaker, a Cayuga County legislator's plan to expand recruitment for county jobs narrowly passed Tuesday night.

In Cayuga County, a legislator proposed a new recruitment outreach program to make the county workforce more diverse.

One of his colleagues dismissed it as "woke stuff."

It passed anyway, by a 6-5 vote. auburnpub.com/news/local/g...
