Obviously the money per year is then used to operate the checkpoints in certain days out of the year.
I think the main reason they started patrolling NY 30 more is because it's a very wide well-kept road where people would easily want to go over the state speed limit of 55.
There has never been a larger police presence in northern NY, and its isn't because people like to drive fast on Rte. 30. (Think drug runners and Homeland Security). But I will return to hockey thoughts now, before I am reprimanded by RB.

So after all of this, does anyone know if the team is staying out of town? I can't see the Union approving the expense although it does make sense.

Originally posted by jmhusker View PostYou are bringing back memories for me Doc. My brother graduated from Paul Smiths and I took that same drive to bring him back and forth to school during the winters of '83 and '84. Slow in the snow but very little police presence! Had a vacation in Blue Mountain lake about 5 years ago. Lots of interesting history there with Edison and the robber barons!

When I'm on those roads I don't set the cruise control because it's more gas efficient to hyper-mile the hills (and since I can barely get a tank out of a trip there, I need every ounce I can spare).
