Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump lost voter share in Warren and Essex Counties between 2016 and 2020, despite vocal advocacy after the 2016 election from local U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-Schuylerville. The weight of U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik’s support of Donald Trump in the region is difficult to gauge. But it is clear that her support of Trump after the 2016 election has not hampered her continued success at the ballot box.

Harmful Algal Blooms may not be harmful, algae or, for that matter, blooms. In fact, a common type of cynobacteria that has been found in Lake George every year since 2020, which the Department of Environmental Conservation labels a harmful algal bloom, does not meet the DEC’s own definition of a HAB, says Dr. Kevin Rose, an aquatic ecologist who teaches at RPI and who now serves as the director of the Darrin Freshwater Institute and the Jefferson Project.

The amount of chlorides deposited by highway crews in the Lake George watershed has begun to shrink, thanks in part to the growing use of a salty, liquid solution known as brine.
