In Odessa Montour and Moriah, shrinking farm tax bases and high poverty limit local levies, forcing reliance on state and federal aid.

Workshops and co op initiatives offer modest shifts as districts mourn lost mining-era prosperity.

Baden denial of Rockefeller claim fuels New York inquiry
Dr. Michael Baden rejected reports he said Nelson Rockefeller died during sexual intercourse. Mayor Koch ousted Baden as chief medical examiner after a probe by Manhattan DA Morgenthau and Health Commissioner Ferrer. Ferrer alleged forbidden remarks and lost evidence in murders. Lenox Hill officials disputed the sexual death claim and noted Rockefeller’s death cited briefly during autopsy discussions. Baden defended his actions, citing privacy and lack of jurisdiction, while Rockefeller died of a heart attack in a townhouse.
