“Of course, I’m disappointed but not at all surprised,” King admitted today. “I started this campaign because our incumbent representative has abandoned the residents of this district.  He is a vassal of a deranged would-be king currently in the White House.

“Though I won’t have my own slot on the primary ballot. I’m prepared to continue my campaign as a write-in candidate for registered Republicans who have been embarrassed by the national party and the incumbent they sent to Congress four years ago.“  King said.

The Owego resident, a retired IBM engineer, first declared his intention to run for the 23^rd New York Congressional District seat late in the fall of last year. Since then, King has traveled to 200+ mile district meeting with residents and speaking at bi-partisan town halls, often alongside a Democratic candidate for the same job, Aaron Gies. Though invited, the incumbent congressman has attended none of those sessions or even held a personal town hall himself.

“This President had broken every promise he made to Americans in the last election. He’s raised prices with unlawful tariffs that also alienated America’s allies worldwide. He’s robbed millions of needed food assistance; driven health care costs beyond the reach of millions and now launches a war that threatens the world economy. The shame is that my party, the majority in Congress and abetted by Nick Langworthy, has refused to stop this madness,” King explained.

“This President still has more than two years in office but the complexion of Congress can be changed this fall. Ousting the district’s guaranteed Trump-following vote is a critical first step,” King said.

“This district historically elects a Republican. They still have that choice,” King said. King has chosen to continue to direct voters to his campaign website and his Facebook pages, both of which offer direct links to his policy proposals and conversations directly with the candidate.

Assemblyman Palmesano's Grant Action News, April 2026

Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C-Corning) is sending his April “Grant Action News Update” to residents, organizations and local governments regarding a series of grants available from the state, federal government and private entities. Each month, the Assembly provides an updated list of grants for a variety of categories.  “During a time of economic recovery, grants can play an integral part in helping our local communities complete needed infrastructure repairs or support underfunded projects,” said Palmesano. “Many people don’t realize the scope of available opportunities because they aren’t sure where to look. The Grants Action News bulletin makes finding these grants much easier by consolidating the information and making it available to everyone. I hope residents, organizations and local governments throughout the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions will be able to use this resource to find much-needed support to strengthen communities in our rural area.”

All not-for-profit applicants must now pre-qualify on the New York State Grants Management website at grantsreform.ny.gov/grantees in order to apply for certain New York state grant solicitations. Potential not-for-profit applicants are strongly encouraged to begin the process of registering and prequalifying immediately, as this is a lengthy process.

New York's GOP Candidate For Gov, Denied Matching  $

City and State reports that the New York State Republican Party is crying foul – that’s because the New York State Board Of Elections told GOP candidate for Governor Bruce Blakeman, that he cannot get matching funds to run for governor.  The state board of elections says, Blakeman filled out the form to get matching funds before he picked his running mate, but they say Blakeman did not update his information when he chose a running mate.  The amount Blakeman was expecting to get was $7 million dollars.

Local Road/Street Work 

Road work is going on up in Dundee.  That’s on Route 14A.  Officials say if you’re driving through the construction area on 14A, to drive slowly and safely.  The work in Dundee is expected to be finished in the fall of this year.  There is also road work happening on Route 36 between Hornell and Arkport.   The Route 36 Corridor Project as it’s called, will take a year and a half to complete.  That’s in addition to the Route 77 bridge work in Prattsburgh and the street work in Bath.  Bath Mayor Michael Sweet says there will be working coming up sometime this year on the State Routes that run through the village of Bath and he says, it will be utility line replacement work.  Sweet also says that will take about two years to do.

What To Do About The Tier 6 Plan

Tier 6 is the state retirement plan, passed in 2012, which is unpopular with some state workers.  The state association of counties and the state conference of mayors put out a joint statement saying that if the state legislature makes changes to what’s known as the Tier 6 retirement system – that the state should not put the costs of those changes on to counties, cities, villages and towns.  NYSAC and NYCOM, as well as NYSAT all say the state needs to pay the state retirements, not municipalities.

Bridge Work Started Today In Prattsburgh 

Steuben County Department of Public Works Commissioner Eric Rose has announced that the bridge on County Route 74 (Prattsburgh–Pulteney Road) over Five Mile Creek, located between County Route 77 and Flynn Road in the Town of Prattsburgh, will be closed to all through traffic beginning today.

The closure is necessary to allow for a full bridge reconstruction. The structure, Bridge No. 74-02 (BIN 3333970), will be rebuilt with new concrete abutments and concrete deck beams to improve the safety and longevity of the crossing.

The project is expected to take approximately 10 weeks to complete, depending on weather and construction conditions.

Motorists should note that there will NOT be an on-site detour, and drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes accordingly during the construction period.

Steuben County officials appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure improvement is completed.

For additional information, please contact the Steuben County Department of Public Works.

Theetge Receives An Award From The State Senate

Chemung County Sheriff’s Department Investigator Mike Theetge was seriously injured in the line of duty in March 2024.  He was chasing down robbery suspects at the Target store in Big Flats, jumped on a suspect who was on the hood of the getaway car, when the getaway car driver took off.  TheetGe fell off the vehicle and sustained bad head injuries.  State Senator Tom O’Mara just gave Thet-Gee the senate’s Blue Heart Award, which is for law  enforcement officers who are injured on the job.    The Resolution reads, in part, "Through his courageous service, steadfast leadership, and ongoing recovery, Investigator Michael Theetge has made an enduring impact on the Chemung County Sheriff's Office, his community, and the people of this great State.”

Steuben/Yates Co Pro-Action's Letter To The Editor

From Pro-Action:  Steuben and Yates County’s most vulnerable residents could soon feel the impact of a quiet but devastating budget decision. Across New York, including here in Steuben and Yates Counties, Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) providers are speaking out against proposed cuts. Weatherization helps low-income households reduce energy costs by improving home efficiency through insulation, air sealing, and other improvements. The Governor’s budget omits 10% of the HEAP funding usually dedicated to WAP—a reduction with far-reaching consequences for communities statewide.

That 10% represents as much as 60% of operating budgets for many local agencies delivering these services. In Steuben and Yates Counties this could mean fewer homes weatherized, reduced energy savings for vulnerable families, and potential layoffs for the skilled workforce that keeps these programs running. For example, last year our local program:

• Served 80 households
• Leveraged $1,004,630 in federal and state funding
• Employed 12 staff and contractors

WAP is one of the state’s most effective tools for lowering energy costs while improving health and safety. Cutting this funding undermines both affordability and long-term energy solutions.

State leaders must restore this funding in the final budget. Steuben and Yates County families—and communities across New York—cannot afford to lose a program that delivers real savings and real impact.

Injured Investigator Recieves State Senate Award

From State Senator Tom O'Mara: 

It was my great privilege, and the honor of the New York State Senate, to recognize the bravery, sacrifice, and service of Chemung County Sheriff's Investigator Michael Theetge.

The award recognizes achievements and contributions in volunteerism, public service, business, education, and law enforcement, among others, as well as, in Theetge’s case, acts of bravery in the line of duty.

The Resolution reads, in part, “Through his courageous service, steadfast leadership, and ongoing recovery, Investigator Michael Theetge has made an enduring impact on the Chemung County Sheriff's Office, his community, and the people of this great State.”

Watkins Glen Mayor, Has Died Of Cancer

From The Watkins Glen Village Clerk:

Today marks the beginning of a period of mourning for our village. As we lower the American flag to half-staff we honor the life and legacy of a devoted partner, mother, grandmother, advisor, resident, friend, and leader. The Honorable Laurie DeNardo, our beloved Mayor, has found peace following her courageous ten-month battle with cancer.

While our hearts are heavy with loss, we also find comfort in knowing that Laurie’s remarkable spirit, compassion, and strength leave behind a legacy that will continue to guide and inspire our community.

A lifelong resident of Watkins Glen, Laurie was deeply committed to preserving the character and heritage of the village she loved. She found joy in boating, local music, and giving back through countless volunteer efforts that enriched the lives of others. Her service to the community was extensive, including her involvement with St. Mary’s of the Lake Church, the Watkins Glen Elks, Lions and Moose Clubs, the Schuyler Hospital Foundation Board of Directors, the Watkins Glen Promotions Board of Directors, and the Watkins Glen Waterfront Festival.

Laurie began her public service as a Village Trustee in March 2015 and was sworn in as Mayor on March 28, 2023. Shortly thereafter, she retired from Cornell University following a distinguished 40-year career in human resources. She brought that same level of professionalism, integrity, and dedication to her role as Mayor.

Laurie was a thoughtful and visionary leader—knowledgeable, articulate, ethical, and deeply compassionate. She approached every decision with care, always mindful of the needs of all residents. Her willingness to listen, thoroughly research, and clearly communicate made her a trusted advocate for the community. Her expertise in municipal law and human resources proved invaluable in advancing initiatives that strengthened the village both operationally and fiscally.

Through her collaboration with regional and state partners, Laurie helped bring meaningful improvements and positive change to Watkins Glen. Her impact will be felt for years to come.

Laurie’s family, friends, and colleagues are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers during this time. Information regarding services to honor her life will be shared very shortly.

On a personal note, Laurie was not only a respected leader but also a cherished friend and mentor. She will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.

With deepest sympathy and respect from all those who loved her, especially her village team.

Palmesano Opposes The Dem's REVIVE Act

Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R, Corning), ranking member of the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee, is coming out against the Democrat’s REVIVE Act.  REVIVE stands for Redeveloping Empty and Vacant Infrastructure for Vibrant Economies Act.  Long Island Democrat Assemblywoman Michaelle Solage, who is trying to pass this into law maintains, that there are so many empty parking lots and empty shopping plazas and storefronts across the state, which could be used to build new housing.  Palmesano says, it would if passed, take away authority from zoning boards and and property owners rights.   He also says it would be another case of Hochul-Control instead of Local-Control.

Quantum Computing Legislation 

 “Quantum computing”  is defined, by IBM as a rapidly-emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems too complex for ordinary computers.  And Senators Schumer and Gillibrand are providing funding to Quantum Hubs.  Cornell and the University of Rochester are just  two of the schools that are in favor of passing the bill, which is called the Advancing Regional Quantum Hubs Act.  

“This legislation would increase federal support for regional quantum innovation hubs, a win-win for our local economies and national security, helping further position New York to lead in quantum computing," said Senator Schumer.  "I’ve delivered historic federal funding for quantum research in New York and across the country and will continue fighting to ensure we stay a quantum leap ahead of the competition.”

“Quantum technologies have vast potential to help protect Americans, strengthen national security, and drive economic growth,” said Senator Gillibrand. “Providing regional quantum innovation hubs with increased federal support will help make sure that communities in New York and across the country have the resources they need to innovate, compete, and lead. New York is at the cutting edge of quantum research and development, and I’m proud to support legislation like this to help innovators thrive in our state and boost regional economies.”

“Empowering innovation in quantum development is critical to our economy and national security,” said Senator Blackburn. “The Advancing Regional Quantum Hubs Act would build on the National Quantum Initiative by ensuring states like Tennessee can drive breakthroughs and compete with adversaries like Communist China to secure American leadership for generations to come.”

Anti-Ice Sentiments Continue To Dominate The Steuben County Monthly, Full Legislative Meetings 

Over a dozen people showed up at the Monday Steuben County Legislative meeting, to speak during the public comment period.  Most of those who did talk, voiced their objections to ICE using the Steuben County Jail to house ICE prisoners.  There were two speakers who disagreed, but most of them were anti-Ice.  We caught up with Steuben County Legislative Chair Kelly Fitzpatrick afterwards.  Fitzpatrick says that she respects their right to protest but she trusts the sheriff in his decision making.  

Steuben County Lawmakers Ask For Lower Utility Bills

The Steuben County Legislature adopted a resolution calling for an immediate and comprehensive review of rapidly escalating electric delivery charges impacting residents, seniors, and small businesses across the county.

Local ratepayers are facing unsustainable and compounding increases in their electric bills—driven not by higher usage, but by rising delivery charges, fees, and approved rate adjustments. These growing costs are placing a serious strain on household budgets and the local economy, particularly in rural communities like Steuben County.

The resolution formally urges the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) to take immediate action by investigating delivery charges, strengthening cost controls, and enforcing greater transparency in how utility rates are set and approved.

“Part of the PSC responsibility is to ensure that our electric service is done at just and reasonable rates,” said Chair Fitzpatrick of the Steuben County Legislature. “What is currently happening in our state is making utility bills completely unaffordable to families. This must be investigated.”

The Legislature is also calling on the PSC to prioritize affordability, require measurable cost-containment efforts from NYSEG, and put an end to unjustified rate increases that disproportionately impact rural and low-density communities.

The resolution represents a unified stand to protect residents and ensure that utility pricing remains fair, reasonable, and sustainable for all.

Full Resolution Shown Below:

RESOLUTION
STEUBEN COUNTY LEGISLATURE
BATH, NEW YORK

INTRO. NO.: 27
INTRO. DATE: March 23, 2026
INTRO. BY: K.M. Hanna

TITLE: MEMORIALIZING THE NEW YORK STATE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION TO IMMEDIATELY REVIEW ELECTRIC DELIVERY CHARGES, DEMANDING IMPROVED COST CONTROLS AND TRANSPARENCY REGARDING THE ESCALATING COST OF ELECTRICITY.

WHEREAS, residents, seniors, and small businesses in Steuben County are experiencing unsustainable, repeated, and compounding increases in electric bills that are placing a growing financial strain on households and the local economy; and

WHEREAS, a substantial portion of these increases is attributable not to increased energy consumption, but to escalating delivery charges, fees, and approved rate adjustments imposed by NYSEG; and

WHEREAS, electric delivery charges and rate structures are regulated and approved by the New York State Public Service Commission, which is statutorily charged with ensuring that utility rates are just, reasonable, and affordable for ratepayers; and

WHEREAS, rural and low-density communities are disproportionately impacted by delivery charge increases and cost-recovery mechanisms that fail to adequately account for affordability, equity, and the cumulative burden placed on ratepayers; and

WHEREAS, the continued approval of rate increases without stronger cost controls, greater transparency, and meaningful affordability protections is unacceptable and contrary to the public interest.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Steuben County Legislature formally and strongly urges the New York State Public Service Commission to conduct a thorough and immediate review of electric delivery charges, rate increases, and cost-recovery practices applicable to NYSEG customers; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Steuben County Legislature calls upon the Public Service Commission to prioritize ratepayer affordability, demand greater transparency from NYSEG, and require demonstrable cost-containment and operational efficiency measures before approving any future rate increases; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Steuben County Legislature expressly opposes continued or automatic rate increases that shift rising operational, infrastructure, and administrative costs onto ratepayers without clear justification or adequate protection for rural communities.

Update On The Addison Bank Robbery Case

Dominic Bova of Corning, is the Addison bank robbery suspect.  He will be in Steuben County Court for a Huntley hearing on Friday April 24, at 930am.  Huntley Hearings are for getting statements from suspects suppressed.  Bova’s defense lawyer is Daniel Dubois.  Bova is accused of allegedly committing the bank robbery in Addison on August 22, 2025.

It goes without saying that bank robberies don't happen every day in the region.  "They really are very infrequent," Allard tells WVIN News.  "The last one before this, was when I was still with the Corning Police Department.  Two banks in Corning were robbed.  After that, there were bank robberies in Watkins Glen and in Ithaca.  Those bank robberies were all done by the same suspect, who was from Rochester.  We located the suspect and he was successfully prosecuted,' Allard explained.

School Started A Little Bit Later Than Usual Today

Many local schools began after a two hour delay this morning.  That is because of the snow/sleet.  

In other news, Friday, March 21, is a half-day for students at the VEW School in Bath.  That’s because of parent-teacher conferences. 

Also, local schools are giving students the day off on Monday of next week – March 30, that’s because there’s a school superintendents day next Monday.

Sheriff Allard's Monthly Newsletter

Tis a grand and fine day in Steuben County on this, Saint Patrick’s Day.  Although we had tree seasons in tree hours last evening, our County is a sure glorious beauty!  On this Saint Patrick’s Day, may the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back.  May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Our agency reorganization continues, with Sergeant Matt Sorge chosen to be promoted to Lieutenant on April 8th.  Matt has run our Civil Division for the past 14 years and is recognized around the state for his professionalism and attention to detail.  He has successfully managed the Civil Division Office, Civil Division Accreditation, School Resource Deputy program, Sex Offender Registry, Car Seat Technician program and Bicycle Patrol for our agency.  I have every confidence that he is up to the challenge of Patrol Lieutenant.  Next up is Patrol Sergeant interviews, and we are fortunate to have many qualified candidates to choose from. 

February was a hard month for our neighbors at 911.  Deputy Director Nick Snyder left this world as a young man with a bright future.  His brothers and sisters at both 911 and the Atlanta Hatch Hose Fire Company will miss him greatly.  He was a great public safety partner and the loss of his leadership will be felt in our county.   

February brought another busy month for our agency.  We swore in a new SRO for the Corning Painted Post District, retired Deputy Michelle Weldon.  Sergeant Sorge and Deputy Butler taught another Boater Safety Course.  In the Corrections Division, the part time Basic Academy concluded their classroom portion and transitioned to defensive tactics. The full time Basic Academy began on February 24th and have so far completed their initial PT exam along with classroom courses in Ethics in Law Enforcement, Special Needs Inmates, Sexual Misconduct, First Aid/CPR, Legal Issues, Stress Management and Essential Services. They have also begun their daily Defensive Tactics training. There are 5 cadets from Steuben County, Corrections Officers Campbell, Cupp, Derby, Maddux and Pruden.  One cadet is from Schuyler County, CO Cook.  Sergeants Erskine, Gardiner, Valentine and Waight completed the DCJS Principled Policing Course.  Lieutenant Thompson and Sergeant Valentine completed the Fire Safety Inspections for Correctional Facilities course.  Major Sutton and Captain Mills completed the Guardian Leadership Course.  Deputies Schafer and Henry completed the DCJS Defensive Tactics Instructor Course.  Deputy McCoy attended the CPASS School Resource Officer Conference.  Deputy Saltsman completed the Property and Evidence Room Manager training. 

Captain Mills was interviewed and featured in a case study as an example of efficient jail management and operations using technology.  Sheriff Allard attended the National Sheriff’s Association Conference and met with DEA Administrator Terry Cole to discuss trends in narcotics in the Southern Tier.  Sheriff Allard issued the NYS Sheriff’s Institute Civil Deputy of the Year Award to Chief Civil Deputy Jesse Genter of the Broome County Sheriff’s Office.  Sheriff Allard also delivered the keynote address at the Hornell Lincoln Day Dinner and was interviewed on “Frankly Speaking” and “The Pulse” with Mayor Buckley. 

All of our deputies and officers performed in an outstanding fashion, and we received multiple commendations from the public regarding their outstanding performance. 

We continue to pray for our first responder colleagues and deployed military across the globe, as well as their families.  We also pray for the victims of mass casualty events and state sponsored aggression.  Thank you for supporting the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office in these challenging times and stay safe!
