What's wrong with hiding in a Bed-tax Bunker? 

Stupid border games. 

"On Dec. 31, the prison population at Ogdensburg Correctional Facility stood at 474. As of Aug. 30, that number had dropped to 313, a decline of 34 percent." 

"We will never be their tax collecting agents." 

"A course, featuring a twisting, turning track with large jumps, will be laid out on a large tract next to the Crete Center parking lot." 

There's no science to the economics. 

Biological diversity doesn't apply to unwanted species. Too bad. 

Interesting that the prison pays for half. 

Chuckie scares me. Will NY become the world's biggest Pork-eater if he gets in-charge? 

"ACR developers plan to rebuild the Big Tupper Ski Area and develop the land around it with 651 luxury housing units plus amenities like an inn, a marina and an equestrian center." 

I don't mind it. 

"Pick up cycle maps and leave your car for up to a week at Auberge Harris" 

A useful tool for your next hike. 

"At 11 PM on Sunday November 17, 1963 the tugboat William H. McAllister was towing an empty oil barge when it struck Schuyler Reef." 

I thought she was a US Citizen? "Nelson crosses the border several times a month to visit relatives, friends and her family's second home, using her Canadian passport to leave the country and her U.S. passport to get back in."

Caspar, the friendly deer in Canton? 

Disclaimer: I think Bass is quite tasty. 

Well, this is a fun debate. 

"They built sprawling blueberry camps where families could come and spend the summer supplementing their incomes." 

Yes, tourism does all that. 

Please help my friend Don. 

It still smells like the old ways of doing things. I'd rather have the Excelsior Tax-Relief Program. 

I guess the Economic Development people thing they can do better (the occupancy money). 

Who needs a DMO when you can do this? 

One of the better "official" releases I've seen. 

It might be anecdotal, but Gary is a pretty good source. 

"The increase in occupancy tax is a windfall for the county marketing agency ROOST, as 95 percent of the tax on hotel rooms goes directly to the organization for operational costs."

ROOST: The shift could result in local businesses adjusting their models to fit younger generations looking to “wing it” in the woods. 

"Each of those Essex County communities has its own unique set of community goals, needs, concerns and tourism opportunities." - Marketing by Committee....wheeeee!
