ATHOL | After an hour-long argument about whether the Town of Thurman was in a solid fi nancial position or not — and after town supervisor Cynthia Hyde and town councilwoman Joan Harris walked out of the special board meeting held last Friday — the three remaining board members

In a recent town meeting, Thurman town Supervisor Cynthia Hyde (left) reacts to a resolution proposed by the town board while board member Gail Seaman registers surprise over the reaction of some local citizens to Hyde’s response. Last Friday, Hyde and Seaman sparred over whether pay of elected and appointed officials should be deferred until the town has enough money to meet its obligations — a resolution that was passed 3-0 after Hyde and town board member Joan Harris left the meeting.

voted unanimously to postpone compensation for all but one of the government’s elected officials, pay off a $300,000 debt to the bank, and temporarily lay off the town’s six hourly workers. The decisions followed Glens Falls National Bank placing a “hold” last week on about $191,000 of the town’s general account to secure loan repayment, and the board members learning that the town had only about $34,000 available in their bank accounts to pay ongoing town operations other than highway-related expenses. In contrast, in early January 2017 immediately before former town supervisor Evelyn Wood resigned, the town had $410,000 set aside in savings and unexpended balances.

QUEENSBURY | Hudson Headwaters was heading towards an iceberg earlier this year following the pending expiration of a Affordable Care Act-related funding stream for community health centers. The health care provider was poised to lose about $4 million, which would have severely hamstrung operations. “It would have been a 72 percent reduction in federal support for our program, which would be disastrous,” said Hudson Headwaters Executive Chairman Dr. John Rugge. More than 23 million Americans utilize community health care centers for their primary care needs, including 2 million in New York state and 95,000 in New York’s 21st Congressional District. » Healthcare Cont. on pg. 2
