BALLSTON SPA, October 31 – Despite costs still rising, it will cost the owner of a $200,000 home in Saratoga County only a couple bucks more – literally – to keep the government going in 2014.
"For the past three years, Saratoga County has taken a very aggressive approach toward reducing the expense side of our budget," said County Administrator Spencer Hellwig III at a press conference Thursday presenting the 2014 Tentative County Budget. "We are now beginning to see the fruits of those labors. Our operating budget is stabilizing, and in 2014 we will have our lowest anticipated usage of fund balance in seven years. At the same time, our tax rates are still among the lowest in the state. The 2014 Tentative Budget will continue to implement a decisive program to restore Saratoga County's financial stability."

Saratoga – Two years ago, former US Representative Gabrielle Giffords was victim to a gun-shot wound to the head at a shooting near Tucsan, Arizona. This past Sunday, she and her husband former astronaut Mark Kelly, attended the Saratoga Springs gun show. As NY State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman put it “Our two national heroes who are walking into space where there are not a lot of folks that are brave enough to try and bring the two sides together.”

SARATOGA – One of the hottest debates these days without question is the gun debate. And New York State is at the center of this debate especially since the passage of the Safe Act. In a nutshell, the Safe Act limits rounds that may legally be loaded in a firearm at any one time (to seven rounds), among other provisions about sales and background checks.
At this gun show, largely to ensure the Safe Act was followed, was New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. Some assumed the appearance might be awkward or even confrontational. As it turns out, “The Attorney General was quite pleased with the way we run our shows” said David Petronis, the gun show operator. He wasn’t there long, but he visited all the tables and embraced an atmosphere that was likely very different from his liberal base.

HALFMOON, March 27 – Saratoga County Sewer District officials will be investigating the possibility of constructing a solar farm on the property of its projected second, northerly treatment plant in the Town of Northumberland.
The deed for the plant was expected to be executed during the week following district commissioners’ March 27 meeting, according to District Attorney Robert Wilcox that day. Commission Chairman William Davis made the request based on what he had heard about the Town of Clifton Park's recent contract with solar power developers Heliosage, of Charlotte, VA. "There's money out there, NYSERDA [New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, with offices in Malta]) gives about $3 million per project. As some funding available to assist.
