Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Saratoga County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Product Ban
Saratoga County is considering a total ban on selling Kratom supplements, meaning local stores might soon be forced to pull them from their shelves. If passed, anyone who relies on these herbal products will need to find alternatives.
Lawsuit Against State Ban
Saratoga County's sheriff is joining a lawsuit to overturn New York's ban on local cops working with ICE. If it succeeds, it could totally change how local police handle immigration right in our neighborhoods.

Legal Misconduct
A Saratoga Springs county supervisor just pled guilty to an impaired driving charge, making local leadership look pretty bad. It definitely makes you wonder if our elected officials are fit for the job.
