All state agencies want more staff, says governor as rangers sound alarm By Pete DeMola EDITOR
SARANAC LAKE | Tourism is up in the Adirondacks. But despite the success of state-sponsored campaigns designed to boost visitation, the state appears to be holding the line on boosting the number of forest rangers. “There’s a growing call in almost every area for more state employees,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “We are trying to do the job we have to do and balance the state budget. If we want to cut taxes, that’s one of the main goals.” The uptick in visitation paired with the growing expanse of state-owned land has led to concerns by the Police Benevolent Association of New York State Law Enforcement (PBA of NYS) that the force is overwhelmed, and the workload has become too great for current staff to handle. » Rangers Cont. on pg. 2

Ex-Syracuse mayor, angling for Cuomo’s job, blasts economic development programs Empire State Development should be eliminated, says Cuomo foe By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Once an ally of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner now wants his job. Since launching her independent gubernatorial bid in June, Miner has excoriated the state’s approach to economic development, which she said is exploited by campaign contributors, leading to a culture of corruption.
Miner, running under the Service America Movement banner, believes there is a “desperate need” for a third way in the state. “Both parties are complicit in a culture that has allowed these things to happen and haven’t responded at all,” Miner told The Sun. “Vested interests get rewarded and wide swathes of New Yorkers are getting left behind.” She blasted marquee programs like the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, which are poised to pump $10 million each into Saranac Lake and Plattsburgh, as the “cotton candy of public policy.” “It is superficiality,” Miner said. “What New Yorkers need is substance, tax relief, and a focus on providing government services. They want meat, potatoes and vegetables — not cotton candy. » Miner Cont. on pg. 9
