LOCAL RESIDENTS OFFER ALTERNATIVE TO PENDING TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGE
WORK BEGINS ON FRONTIER TOWN PROJECT, BREWERY RELOCATION Parts of state-run campgrounds to be open by fall
Ahead of modification, group advocates removing light entirely

NORTH HUDSON | One year
after the state rolled out plans to transform the former Frontier Town theme park into a regional tourism hub, dignitaries gathered last week to break ground for the business anchoring the project. “I’m a dreamer,” said Paul Mrocka, co-owner of Paradox Brewery. “If we build it, they will come.” Paradox Brewery has purchased an 11.2 acre parcel at the
former vacation destination to build a new brewing facility and tap room, an expansion that will create 30 jobs once fully operational. The relocation, Mrocka said, will also allow the brewer to meet the growing demand for craft beer, which is booming across the state. As temperatures hovered in the mid40s, attendees gathered before a sweeping, snow-capped vista. » Frontier Town Cont. on pg. 15

ALBANY | The state Supreme Court’s Appellate Division, Third Department, has ruled the state’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) covers the electronically scanned images of ballots taken from voting machines and that the data should not be shielded from disclosure. “We conclude that, once electronic ballot images have been preserved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Election Law § 3-222, there is no statutory impediment to disclosure and they may be obtained through a FOIL request,” wrote Supreme Court Justice Stanley Pritzker in the decision. » FOIL Cont. on pg. 4
