Governor in Crown Point today

Governor David Paterson is in solid pre-campaign mode and that journey takes him to Crown Point today.

No, the ferry’s not ready to open service across Lake Champlain. According to state officials, he plans to tell people from the area that it soon will be.

The Governor is scheduled to speak at 1:30 pm. It should be an interesting moment. He’s not exactly the most popular man in the central Champlain Valley at the moment.

Last week, Paterson announced plans to close the Moriah Shock correctional facility, one of the top employers in the area.

A protest is planned for tomorrow.
