The price of gas is over $4 a gallon, but demand remains steady. So we asked - is $4 for gas the new normal:

 

No, we're not coping with it any better! We don't have a choice!

If we complained, would it help?  I don't think so.

I pity people who have a long commute. Hopefully, four dollars a gallon for gasoline won't be the "new normal."

A group of teenagers is believed to be responsible for a significant vandalism spree in the village of Massena:

 

They should be made to write, 10,000 times, "I will not deface others' property again".

Their punishment should be to scrub with a toothbrush everything they vandalized.

People in Watertown may soon be paying more for trash pick-up. An increase of fifty cents per bag is in the proposed budget:

 

Some people can't afford this increase.  I...am on a fixed income and the price of everything going up hurts.

I think $2.50 is already too much for one bag.

You can take it to the county landfill and pay by weight and it's ridiculously cheap. A little extra time but a lot of savings.

Thank goodness for private haulers and the competition they bring in!

I so remember the days when trash removal was actually part of what you paid for in taxes.
