Saratoga County moves to loosen gag rule on public input
The legislative and research committee voted to modify Rule 6 to allow public comment with steps: first committee appearance, then agenda session, then full board if approved. Most supervisors back the change, with one dissent. A private resident argued evening meetings would boost participation. The panel also recommended designating the county as sponsor for several area colleges with classes planned in Burnt Hills Ballston Lake, Saratoga Springs, Galway and surrounding towns.
