Residents want reasons for decision
“You can’t fight city hall,” so the saying goes, and it’s true. My neighbors and I have been battling the town of Ballston for over a year concerning a wide discrepancy in the fees the town charged residents to connect to the same public water supply.
When the water line was extended in 2004 to serve the new town hall on Charlton Road, homeowners along the route (known as Extension 14) were invited to hook up for a fee of $9,100, with an explicit promise that the fee would never go up or down. ....

In December, Major League Baseball reclassified the Negro Leagues as a major league and will count the statistics and records of its 3,400 players as part of its history.
The league said it was correcting a longtime oversight in the game s history by elevating the Negro Leagues on the centennial of its founding. The Negro Leagues were made up of seven leagues, and MLB will include records from those circuits between 1920-48. The Negro Leagues began to dissolve one year after Jackie Robinson became MLB s first Black player with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. ....
