Lot of folks without power of course.

About 900 Columbia Street: battle to save this historic building takes a few steps forward with an article in Rural Intelligence. Sign the petition. I did and donated 25 bucks too.

Who will run for office in Copake? Nice write up. Glad to see this blog out there.

Get in line and run! Anyone 1) taking on a sitting supervisor other than maybe one or two out of 17 who is 2) not crooked gets an automatic contribution from me regardless of party. The Columbia County Board of Supervisors: no accountability. Chaos. Malfeasance. Schemes.
