Friday on The Eight O’Clock Hour

There’ll be more tomorrow morning on a Lake Placid coalition’s plans to go ahead with the Empire State Winter games, with or without state money. (Be sure to check out Marquil’s cartoon today – just scroll down the front page a little.)

And more about a lawsuit filed against The Adirondack Explorer Magazine by a landowners group. (see below for posts on both those developing stories)

Brian Mann was at the APA meeting today — he’ll report on a compromise to run a new snowmobile corridor through the Moose River Plains AND create a big new wilderness area at the same time.

Yesterday, incoming governor Andrew Cuomo asked for quick action on three key state Senate races that will likely tip the majority balance in the chamber. Today, Chief Judge  Jonathan Lippman set deadlines for settling court challenges delaying the final results.  Tomorrow we’ll have that story from Albany reporter Karen DeWitt, along with more comments on New York’s finances from the (lame duck) budget director.

And Bob Cowser, who teaches English at SLU, has a new book about the 1979 killing of a childhood friend, and the execution of her murderer 20 years later. Todd Moe talks with him about the story, and the book, in the second half of tomorrow’s 8 O’clock Hour.
