This morning, I’m reporting on high-profile questions being raised by the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board about land deals in the Adirondacks.<\/p>\n
Those questions have also sparked criticism about the LGRB’s role in the debate, whether it reflects local government sentiment, and whether the group is acting within its legislated mandate.<\/p>\n
This morning, the Adirondack Journal <\/a>is reporting that the LGRB has a new board president, Gerald Delaney from Clinton County.<\/p>\n “I worked on farms in the Adirondacks since my youth \u2014 I picked up a chain saw at the age of 18 and worked in the woods as a logger, felling and skidding trees,” he said, noting that forest-related resources were important traditionally and in the present day \u2014 for both local culture and the economy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Delaney replaces Newcomb town supervisor George Canon.\u00a0 According to the Journal, he shares Canon’s opposition to new land deals.<\/p>\n “The Adirondacks became what they are because of the stewardship of large and small landowners,” he said. The state erodes that by buying up the working forests.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read the full article here<\/a>, and hear my report here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This morning, I’m reporting on high-profile questions being raised by the Adirondack Park Local Government […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[22,20],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3707"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3707\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.northcountrypublicradio.org\/inbox\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
