Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has called on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to grant no more extensions to NYRI, a group of investors who want to build an electrical transmission line from Oneida to Orange counties. In April, New York Regional Interconnect Inc. withdrew its application to the state's Public Service Commission to build a $2.1 billion power line that could run through Chenango, Delaware and/or Otsego counties. Since then, however, NYRI has asked FERC to review its case, trying to keep the project alive.
COOPERSTOWN _ The idea of selling Otsego Manor, Otsego County's nursing home, was discussed briefly at Wednesday's county board meeting. The subject arose after Rep. Donald Lindberg, R-Worcester, apprised board members on the facility's complicated finances. Lindberg, who chairs the Otsego Manor Committee, said the nursing home's balance sheet looks better than it really is. When the numbers are traced carefully, and fringe benefits for employees as well as capital costs are added, it appears the Manor costs about $2 million a year in county funds to operate, he said.
