I’m literally a RINO. I switched parties in Elise Stefanik’s district in order to sign a petition for and vote for her primary opponent. The opponent so far seems like kind of a bust, but maybe she’ll get more motivated or someone else will jump in.

Yes, the Glens Falls Post Star is my local paper and it’s a shell. I get the Watertown paper online and that’s pretty empty, too. It’s a news desert.
So many developments in the last 20 years have brought us to this morass we're in.
