Hamburg union members Monday night accused Supervisor Steven J. Walters of unethical, deceitful and possibly illegal behavior in the manipulation of health insurance rates for employees.

Each of the five unions held votes of no confidence in the supervisor that were overwhelmingly approved last month, they said.

Walters, who called on each union representative during the public comment section of the Town Board meeting Monday night, denied that he did anything wrong and said that he would not resign.

“Everything that I’ve done has been for the taxpayers,” he said, adding that he was trying to keep taxes as low as possible. “Certainly, as we move forward, that will be my continued goal, my continued dedication is to the taxpayers of the Town of Hamburg.”
