Voters sent a resounding message in the 99th Assembly District race, a message that changes little as the incumbent fended off a challenge for the GOP line by his opponent on the Democratic line.
Political signs are few people’s favorite form of advertising, but that doesn’t mean it’s OK to make them say whatever you want, as one aspiring politico found out in Carmel. Meanwhile, Southeast Supervisor Michael Rights says he is getting the help a court mandated, but prosecutors say he shopped around for a less restrictive alcohol treatment program.
Speaking of Southeast, if you were thinking of raising a ruckus at Town Hall, think again. Armed deputies are standing sentinel to ensure the orderly conduct of town business. You might want to save it for the county anyway, in light of a proposed 6.9% tax hike for 2009.
In Putnam Lake, fire struck a family home, but thankfully no one was injured. And The Journal News kicked off the new school year by chronicling a new Carmel teacher’s first day on the job.
