Protests at Randy Kuhl's Fairport and Bath offices received coverage in local newspapers and television. The Bath protest resulted in arrests. The Elmira Star-Gazette coverage lists the names and home towns of the five arrested. One of those arrested lives in the district (Hector), one lives Trumansburg, and three live in Ithaca. The Syracuse News 10 coverage also quotes a counter-protester at the Bath office.
In Fairport, some quick police work kept protesters out of jail. The Democrat and Chronicle story describes it this way:
In Fairport, six members of the group occupied Kuhl's Packet Landing office for more than seven hours.
They left Kuhl's office after Fairport police Sgt. Matthew E. Barnes invited them to walk with him to police headquarters.
Once outside, Barnes locked the door and told them they were free to go.
Update: Rochester Indy Media has photographs and coverage of the Fairport protest. Apparently, three protesters were detained for a short period of time then released after being served with a trespassing summons.
Update #2: Reader Elmer sends stories from the Daily Messenger [pdf] and Corning Leader [pdf]. The Leader story says that two of the arrested protesters were from Trumansburg and three from Ithaca, which would make them all from out of the district.

The Leader story says that two of the arrested protesters were from Trumansburg and three from Ithaca,
Not by much, though.
Absolutely - these aren't "outside agitators".
