LAKE GEORGE | Lake George Village leaders cited disappointment April 1 that the $175.5 billion state budget passed a day earlier didn’t include a specific allocation toward the construction of a new municipal treatment plant. The state budget agreement, however, appropriated $500 million toward the costs of clean water infrastructure projects statewide, which village Mayor Robert Blais said offered some hope of additional grant funding beyond the $7.5 million in state funding already pledged toward the treatment plant. “Although we weren’t named in the budget bill, we’re holding out hope that some of this money will go toward our treatment plant,” he said at the village’s annual meeting, noting the sum appeared generous and the wording of the bill indicated that Lake George Village’s plant would qualify for an additional grant. » Sewer budget Cont. on pg. 3

Country Community College (NCCC) nursing professor Selina LeMay-Klippel, who spent much of the last semester in the Russian city of Ufa in the Republic of Bashkortostan, teaching at Bashkir State Medical University. As intended under the Fulbright program, both sides came away from the experience culturally and educationally enriched, and with a better understanding of each other. “I’ve always had a real belief that (the world) is all of one country, and that these lines that divide us are only lines,” LeMay-Klippel said. “We’re all the same.”

WARRENSBURG | Warren County government has requested all their municipal officials to prioritize their local infrastructure needs — and the county may provide financial assistance for upgrades and repair, town officials recently revealed. The project came to light recently as Warrensburg board members learned at their March meeting that their town was asked to launch the project by assessing and submitting their infra-
This effort to inventory all the local infrastructure needs across the county was developed in the wake of a campaign late last year to change distribution of county sales tax revenue. The change was proposed because towns without lakefront property were getting paltry portions of the sales tax rebates from the county, while those with such expensive properties were getting back far more per taxpayer — a situation which was seen as hurting county residents of modest means. » Infrastructure Cont. on pg. 10
