The appointment of Elmira’s top lawyer could result in the loss of support from at least one Elmira City Council member for the city’s proposed $28.2 million budget for 2008.
There was yelling going on and one council member who wasn’t going to take it. Pretty exciting stuff. Sorry that every single one of you missed it (Nina excluded).
JOEL ROSENBERG has been on top of that Minneapolis wrong-house no-knock raid. And yes, he’s the same guy who writes fantasy/science fiction novels, but he’s also a handgun instructor.
Sometimes we just have to accept someone is going to get to flush evidence away.

William O’Brien II announced Friday he is stepping down at the end of the year as Elmira’s corporation counsel to spend more time with his family.
