So many questions after #EliseStefanik announced she was stepping away from politics. Did she accomplish anything? Will she be back? And if yes, when? Oh my.

For the first time in #EliseStefanik's political career more people have an unfavorable opinion of her - according to a #Sienapoll - than have a favorable one. If you were wondering why, check my column below.

What stands out for me in 2025 was people got to hear and see the drama of a newsroom with the reading of #TheLastAmericanNewspaper.

The book may be even better. You can still pick it up at Ace Hardware (Queensbury), Chapman Museum (Glens Falls) and Battenkill Books (Cambridge).

We can bellyache all day about #RepEliseStefanik and her failure to represent #21CD, but I argue #QueensburyTownBoard failure to address ethics is an issue regular citizens can make a difference. The #EthicsBoard meets Thursday at 4 p.m. Go support it!

Not you, or me for that matter, but most of us are pretty bad drivers. Between speeding and using our cell phones, it is not safe out there. #Driverlesscars might be the best thing to ever happen to us.
