The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to the cancelation of annual events around the Great Sacandaga Lake and put a lot of businesses at risk.
But the Great Sacandaga Lake region was also helped, according to Fulton-Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce President Mark Kilmer, because many of the houses dotting the reservoir’s 115 miles of shoreline are second homes and camps for out-of-town people, many of them hailing from New York City and northern New Jersey.
That area was the worst-hit in the country during the early part of the pandemic, so that meant many folks who have properties around the lake came up earlier than normal, Kilmer said. Working and going to school remotely meant these families could take advantage of the “natural social distancing,” he said, as opposed to being stuck in their city homes.

A decision in a defamation case argued primarily by a Cornell Law School student is one of the first in New York state court to address a legal question spurred by recent legislative changes strengthening free speech protections.
On May 10, a New York Supreme Court judge in Ontario County dismissed a construction company’s lawsuit against James Meaney of Geneva, New York, publisher of the Geneva Believer watchdog blog, who was defended by the Law School’s First Amendment Clinic and co-counsel Michael Grygiel of Greenberg Traurig LLP.
Judge Brian Dennis agreed that amendments approved in November to New York’s so-called “anti-SLAPP” statutes, which seek to deter use of the courts to silence criticism in public matters, should apply to the case retroactively. But he also found that the previous version of the statute would have applied as well, and that Massa Construction Inc. could not meet its statutory burden to show that its claims had a substantial basis

I have zero tolerance for those who accept lies over truth.
Like people who still believe Trump won the election and Biden cheated. It’s not just the Big-Lie pundits on MAGA television and radio, it includes 70% of Republicans. They also claim that the Jan. 6 insurrection was just a protest, or it didn’t happen.
Regarding the pandemic, about 50% of Republicans won’t take the COVID-19 vaccine, believing the virus is not real, it hasn’t been proven to work (Tucker Carlson) or simply because the Democrats want them to.
