When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

Attention Property Owners. |
The Adirondack Park Agency has revised its rules and regulations to apply to the expansion of shorefront homes built before the APA came into existence.
The APA has been traditionally criticized for overstepping its authority but nine counties within the park all clearly feel this is an abuse of the APA’s statutory powers. What the Agency is seeking to do is to apply their shorefront restrictions to those shorefront structures built before the APA even came into existence.
Thankfully, nine Adirondack counties are speaking out in unison against this. After watching the goings on at the APA for 25 years, if the APA is successful, all property owners should be concerned because they will be coming for your property next.
