Hiya, people of the North Country. There’s a feeling of rain — or maybe snow? — in the air!

A post-election update:

The St. Lawrence County board of Elections tells YNN that the district 9 county legislature ballot mishap probably won’t effect election results. Clinton County still has over 1100 absentee ballots to count, which could effect the outcome of some races.  Absentee ballots will also determine who becomes tax collector in the town of Jay, and supervisor and councilor in Waddington.  And write-in votes are delaying the final results for the Lisbon Town Council seats.

Other news:

The U.S. Supreme Cort is debating whether it’s constitutional for Greece, New York to open its Town Board meetings with predominantly Christian prayers. The New York Times has this play-by-play. And the Atlantic profiles the two women who sued the town of Greece five years ago.

Governor Cuomo wants you to buy New York-made wine for the holidays.

Pamela and Russell Brothers from Morrisonville are probably having a good day — they won the lottery!

    So much news falls into the “who cares” category, such as a prayer before a town board meeting. Like anyone is forced to pray along? No one forces you to pray. Grow up. Get a life. Stop being a certified wimp.
