Officials review Plattsburgh finance report Savings adding up, report shows — but councilor cautions cost-cutting work must continue By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER
PLATTSBURGH | The city’s year-to-date spending report was presented to the Plattsburgh Common Council last week, and lawmakers appeared cautiously optimistic about the results — though one councilor warned that their work is far from done. “Let us not assume that the $2.9 million surplus we have right now is the way it’s going to be at the end of the year,” Councilor Michael Kelly (Ward 2) said last week. “We are continuing the cost-controls that are making this happen.” » Spending report Cont. on pg. 9

BASSMASTER COMING: Professional fisherman John Hunter will appear at the Texas Roadhouse in Plattsburgh on Aug. 1 for a meet-and-greet from 7 to 9 p.m. Hunter competed on the Bassmaster Elite Series in 2016 and 2017. Guests will have the opportunity to see the Bassmaster’s stateof-the-art falcon bass boat and truck, and will also have the opportunity to win a $100 fishing prize package which includes a Texas Roadhouse gift card, fishing hat, fishing t-shirt and an assortment of fishing tackle.

WILLSBORO | Marc Molinaro has had a busy summer, alternating between news conferences excoriating state corruption and traveling upstate meeting with farmers and regular voters. The Republican gubernatorial candidate stumped in Willsboro on Saturday, bringing his core campaign issues deep into farm country. New Yorkers are overtaxed, contends Molinaro, leading to an exodus of jobs and young people. Overregulation strangles job growth, and Albany is in dire need of ethics reform following a string of corruption convictions surrounding the state’s flagship economic development programs. “Are we just going to accept this as the way it is, or are we going to say enough is enough?” Molinaro told The Sun. “Because I have not been to a region where families, individuals or voters don’t recognize the governor has made a mockery of democracy and has bended the rules consistently to benefit himself politically.” Cuomo has not been accused of any wrongdoing in
THE SAVINGS ARE SIZZLING AT PARKER
Molinaro, the Dutchess County executive, spent Friday in St. Lawrence County, where he picked up an endorsement from Rep. Elise Stefanik. “He understands the economic challenges of upstate New York,” Stefanik told The Sun. “He understands the need to have fundamental ethics reform in Albany, and I think he’s an example of the new generation of leadership we need in the state.” The two appeared at the Essex County Republican Committee Pig Roast on Saturday. Molinaro and Stefanik delivered their comments alongside other GOP officials — including state Assemblyman Dan Stec and state Senator Betty Little — surrounded by a bucolic landscape of rolling fields and red barns. Stefanik has had a contentious relationship with Cuomo, who has spent the past 18 months attacking Republican members of the state’s congressional delegation, lashing lawmakers in apocalyptic language for trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the tax bill, gun control and other measures coming out of Washington, D.C. — even calling on lawmakers to resign at one point. » Molinaro Cont. on pg. 7
