Clinton County authorities and 800 law officers hunted for David Sweat and Richard Matt amid cool, wet conditions in northern New York. Rain hindered scent tracking and thermal imaging as officials questioned whether Joyce Mitchell was the sole helper, noting she may have been Plan B in an elaborate escape. Matt and Sweat remained at large after escaping from Clinton Correctional Facility on June 6.

District approves higher millage to cover pension, bond plan
The board approved a 0.35 mill increase in Lawrence County and 1.35 mills in Mercer County to fund a pension heavy budget for 2015-16. A projected 1.5 million deficit will be offset by a 4.8 million fund balance, with a possible surplus next year if pension costs ease. The plan shifts five school projects into a refinanced capital improvements bond, saving interest and adding about 30 thousand dollars annually for five years, while keeping 7-12 coaching positions. Resident supporters urged higher taxes for stronger education, while two attendees urged restraint.
