Warren County tax auction Saturday

This Week ELIZABETHTOWN

IN NORTH CREEK

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Far more property owners in Warren County are apparently facing financial trouble this year than in 2011, considering the number of distressed properties to be sold off soon to recover delinquent taxes. About 65 properties, including about 16 homes, are to be auctioned off for nonpayment of taxes in a public sale set for 10 a.m. Saturday Oct. 20. The number of properties to be auctioned off by Warren County is about double last years’ number. County officials said they do not know why the number is far higher than in 2011. Last year, 28 properties were auctioned off in the annual sale. Three of the residences to be auctioned off are owneroccupied, according to county Treasurer Michael Swan. The list of properties was higher several months ago, but has been whittled down as county officials have been accepting late payments and making payment arrangements to avoid taking properties away from owners. In an effort to keep people in their homes, county officials are continuing up through Friday, Oct. 19 to accept payments, county Treasurer Michael Swan said Monday, Oct. 15.

By Andy Flynn andy@denpubs.com JOHNSTOWN — A state Supreme Court judge Thursday, Oct. 11 issued a temporary restraining order against the Hudson River Rafting Company exactly two weeks after a woman died during one of the com-

pany’s rafting trips. The order prohibits the company and its owner, Patrick Cunningham of North Creek, from operating a business that offers guided rafting excursions on any rivers in New York where guides licensed by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) are required pending the final decision and order in this case.

On Oct. 10 on behalf of Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, state Assistant Attorney General G. Nicholas Garin filed a petition against the Hudson River Rafting Company and Cunningham, alleging that the company and its owner practiced “fraudulent, deceptive, and illegal conduct with their business providing guided river excursions on various New York rivers.”

Schneiderman is trying to recover restitution and damages for consumers victimized by the respondents’ alleged practices and to recover penalties and costs. Justice Richard Girardino issued the restraining order Oct. 11 in Supreme Court at the Fulton County Courthouse in Johnstown (Hamilton CONTINUED ON PAGE 8
