I grew up in La where Nat Gas lines are everywhere. No worries about safety unless you run an excavator for a profession(if u do then have the utility to come mark the lines before digging). I even used to install gas lines for swimming pool heaters and never had a problem so dont worry about safety too much. The bigger worries is the silly hyperinflating price tag! What could it be good for up here you cant afford to heat a home on it, Clothes dryer or water heater maybe as it does a great job but you really want to swap over your appliances for minimal cost savings if any as the price is inflating faster than electricty atm? It is nice but whats it worth? I do love to cook with it as it blows electric burners away in terms of usability.  

Biking works- I ride often it is no problem. I try to do the "if I have nothing to carry I ride" method of forcing myself to ride. It really is fun and adds very little time to the commute.  Plus its healthy :)

1) we must cut enforcement we can't afford it; prop taxes must come down they are hurting good people!

2)If you see someone strange call the police(563-3411) they respond fast and will solve the issues; also tell others on the path most Burghers are helpful people. I know if someone mentioned a certain area of the path having a dangerous section(person/animal/etc) I would personally patrol it. I live on the path and my petite pregnant fiance is a avid user of the path; it should not be a scary place nor does it feel that wayto everyone. Plus the more people on the path the better for safety.(and health)

3)The recent stabbing was not a random act of kindness.

Other points of interest: It is time to revisit our drug laws having the most amount of people incarcerated in the world is a terrible stat; especially with prisioner refering to time spent behind bars as "Criminal Univ".

And Ten, you're right the world of every mom being the "Neighborhood Mother" are gone- sadly. Instead the economy and pursuit of the American way has forever changed us and video games made it fun to watch us die.

Make it a regatta only. Plattsburgh is not a place for entertainment the people just dont respond to it, attendance sucks and the events suffer. Plus we don't have the finances. Maybe once they merge the city and town we can relook at the finaces and decide what "Free Events"(hopefully they produce some $$) we need to make the place better and add to the much needed cultural side.

Just curious:

I thought parolee's had to return to their "home" county when released and report to someone there as part of the release. IE they cant stay here afterwards. Is that not the case?
