COLUMN Home Rule In Constitution, But Limited By ADRIAN KUZMINSKI • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com I’ve been commenting in recent columns on the first two Principles of Sustainable Otsego: Sustainable Living and Economic Independence. In this column, I want to take up the third and last principle: Home Rule. “Home” is where we live with family, friends, and neighbors.

EDITORIAL Marijuana Law Prudent Step. Maybe, Just Maybe, Enough This year’s wild and crazy one-party bloc in Albany may have, by failing to reach it’s ultimate goal, achieved a sensible outcome in one area. Governor Cuomo Monday, July 29, signed legislation that reduces the penalty for unlawful possession of marijuana under 2 ounces from felony to violation.

LETTER from R. SCOTT DUNCAN If Dogs, Why Not Cuddly Rabbits? To the Editor: Bassett Medical Center adds dogs to its security patrol. You can’t be serious? Safety of patients? Dogs carry many diseases as well as ticks. Some people are allergic to dogs and dog hairs. Yet another disease in the hospital environment to be wary of.
