Speno refiles cigarette tax to boost education aid
In Albany Senator Edward Speno of East Meadow refiled a measure to raise the cigarette tax from five to ten cents per pack. He says the plan would generate 100 million dollars for state aid to education and 25 million for medical and education programs aimed at curbing smoking. In Albany reports say Republican lawmakers may back a shift in Senate leadership, with some considering voting for Senate majority leader Joseph Zaretzki, a move linked to New York Mayor Robert Wagner. In Troy, Police Chief James W. Doherty returned to duty after being cleared of gambling raid charges. The Public Safety Committee dropped the case, leaving Doherty with a 20-year clean record and triggering broader disciplinary action against about 100 subpoenaed individuals.

Berkshire Route 8 plan sparks debate at Planning Board
Geoffrey Baker of Technical Planning Associates told the Planning Board that a north-south highway east of Adams and North Adams would burden Northern Berkshire while improvements to Route 8 and a western bypass tied to Mt. Greylock development offered better traffic relief. His proposal includes a river crossing near Hunter's Foundry Road and urban renewal aimed at improving Ashland Street.

Water plan outlined for Bennington watershed expansion
The village water department proposes a combined town and village financing plan using operating revenues to fund a $600,000 expansion. A town bond and federal grant would cover half, while the water board would manage the new pipeline and watershed. If approved, the plan lowers taxpayer burden and aligns with unification goals, though opposition exists.
