SARANAC LAKE It’s not every day that a former head of a New York agency sues his one-time department.
But late last year, Thomas Jorling filed a court case against the state Department of Environmental Conservation, which he led during much of Gov. Mario Cuomo’s administration.

The lawsuit is being filed by Mr. Jorling, resident on Lower Saranac Lake in Ampersand Bay. I am a full-time resident of Lake Placid, former principal of Lake Placid Middle-High School, boat owner and member of the former Duso’s, now Saranac Lake Marina, on Lower Saranac Lake for the past 20 years. I have personally witnessed the decay of the marina over several years. Covered docks were literally falling apart and into the lake. They became too dangerous to walk on, and our boat had to be brought to the open dock so we could enjoy the lake that day. At one point, there was no mechanic or fuel for members. Cabins to the west side of the main marina in Crescent Bay were falling apart as well. It was disheartening to see this beauti
