ALBANY — Six North Country veterans have filed a federal lawsuit in an effort to restore float plane access to remote Adirondack lakes. Maynard Baker, Douglas Irish, Mark Schumaker, Ronald Dixon, Richard Kenny and Joseph Franklin filed suit Aug. 23, in United States District Court alleging state policies restricting float planes from landing and taking off from dozens of Adirondack lakes amount to discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
