WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) -We meet another of the 10 candidates for Watertown City Council.
7 News anchor John Moore spoke with Michelle Capone, who’s running for a four-year seat on the council.
She says she’s focused on removing red tape for businesses through zoning and keeping taxes low, in part, by combing through the budget for efficiencies. When it comes to allowing recreational marijuana dispensaries in Watertown, Capone says she needs more information, noting that recreational pot is still illegal at the federal level. Capone tells 7 News she wants to be part of a team that will see the city of Watertown progress and thrive.

Gen. Lloyd Austin III in 2013
(Provided photo â U.S. Central Command) FORT DRUM As retired Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III was confirmed as the Secretary of Defense on Friday, many North Country observers fondly remembered his time as Fort Drum’s commander and the legacy he left behind. Austin’s distinguished career included leading the post and the 10th Mountain Division from 2003 to 2005, and he’s now the first Black person in charge of the Pentagon. On Friday, the Senate confirmed him by a 93-2 vote. But he had to get a waiver from Congress to serve as the defense secretary because his retirement in 2016 did not fulfill the requirement that he had to be out of uniform for seven years.
