U.S. Government Issues Warning About New York Drinking Water
Top U.S. officials have issued a stern warning about drinking water. As someone who grew up in the City of Newburgh, a warning about drinking water is always scary.

DANCE REVIEW: ‘SMASHED2’ by Gandini Juggling at PS21
The Center for Contemporary Performance, or “PS21,” as it is known, is in Chatham, N.Y., just over the Massachusetts border and a reasonable drive from pretty much anywhere in Berkshire County. The venue had its first season in 2006, and being the proverbial new kid on the block, it is not as well known as some of its Berkshire County counterparts such as Shakespeare & Company and Barrington Stage Company, and certainly not yet in the league of Tanglewood or Jacob’s Pillow. Judging by the vision, energy, and drive of the organization, however, and its desire to truly be contemporary, innovative, and accessible and affordable to all, I am quite confident in the coming years PS21 will be spoken of in the same breath as these other venerable performing-arts institutions in the Berkshires.

New York State Man Sues To Win Back Exotic Animal That Was Taken By DEC
Back in 1990, a New York state man said he purchased a young alligator from a reptile show in Ohio.

Jason Golub Leads His Faction In Paying Dillon Moran’s Exorbitant Legal Bills
Watching the Saratoga Springs City Council meeting on July 2,2024, I was struck by how incestuous the world the Faction (Public Works Commissioner Jason Golub/Accounts Commissioner Dillon Moran/Finance Commissioner Minita Sanghvi) lives in is. It is truly impressive how oblivious they are as to how the public views the debacle of Accounts Commissioner Dillon Moran running up a $61,000.00 legal bill at $1,250.00 per hour. They appear to believe that no one will notice or disapprove if they ignore the New York statutes on how legal bills are dealt with and instead nod their heads approvingly at each other’s clearly inaccurate characterizations of what Moran did and what the obligation of the city is to pay his exorbitant bills.
