Stefanik carves out third term in hard-fought contest

Short-term rental law mandates permits, ‘quiet hours’, occupancy limits

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

GLENS FALLS | The blue wave has failed to reach the North Country. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) has won reelection to Congress, beating back challenges from Democrat Tedra Cobb and Green Party candidate Dr. Lynn Kahn in her bid for a third term. With 97 percent of precincts counted by 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Stefanik secured 56 percent of the vote to Cobb’s 41 percent. “This seat in Congress is yours,” Stefanik told supporters at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls, “and it will always be yours.” Cobb, a former St. Lawrence County lawmaker and strategic consultant, was unable to unseat the lawmaker despite harnessing support from the “resistance” movement that reached even the most remote pockets of the North Country, galvanizing an incensed public into political activism, many for the first time.

Concerns voiced over Warren County budget

propriations, resulting in a tax levy increase of about 2.5 percent, well under the state’s tax cap mandate. A primary cause of the increase is a $700,000 hike in the corrections budget in addition to a 2.6 percent raise for nearly all county employees. About a half-dozen supervisors cited concerns about several county employees’ raises that were far higher than the 2.6 percent increases granted to nearly all other workers in the spending plan. Supervisors also suggested deleting several new positions that were funded in the pending budget as well as other reductions.

QUEENSBURY | In a rare move, Warren County’s 2019 preliminary budget was sent back for 11th-hour review by the board of supervisor’s budget committee after supervisors raised questions at what was to be the sole public hearing for the spending plan. The hangup was proposed raises for several county employees. The committee meeting was set for 10 a.m. Thursday Nov. 8, and the 2019 budget is expected to again be presented to the public — with amendments, if any — at 10 a.m. Friday Nov. 16. The spending plan as submitted by county Budget Officer Frank Thomas of Stony Creek, calls for $156.9 million in ap-
