The move follows state cuts ordered by the legislature and expands to involve Chemung Steuben and Tioga counties. NY Attorney General Lefkowitz orders probe into possible anti monopoly violations while Port Jervis pharmacists back the boycott with cautious support as the industry weighs financial impact and patient care.

Chester Board Rejects 18 Acre Annexation Proposal
Chester town board blocks annexation of 18 acres along Route 94 owned by Anthony and Joseph Long. The Longs planned a subdivision and could have built 45 homes under village zoning. The decision cited potential lower town valuations and burdens on the school district and water system. Earlier, Kosuga’s plan for 67 adjacent acres near Rt 17M was denied for lack of usable development plans.
