House passes health care bill

WASINGTON -- Hours after President Barack Obama exhorted Democratic lawmakers to "answer the call of history," the House hit an unprecedented milestone on the path to health-care reform, approving a trillion-dollar package late Saturday that seeks to overhaul private insurance practices and guarantee comprehensive and affordable coverage to almost every American.

After months of acrimonious partisanship, Democrats closed ranks on a 220-215 vote despite 39 defections, mostly from the party's conservative ranks.

Free ferry next to Champlain Bridge planned

Essex County lawmakers revealed Monday that the state plans to start a 24-hour, free ferry next to the boarded-up Champlain Bridge in Crown Point.

The ferry would launch from temporary docks to be constructed south of the bridge at the Crown Point Reservation State Campground. It would open at the beginning of December and use two ferries, an ice breaker and a smaller boat to reach the Vermont side at Chimney Point.

The new ferries would be year-round and run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“Survey crews are exploring locations on both sides of the lake and both south and north of the closed bridge. We are working seven days a week with the goal of getting people’s lives back to as close to normal as quickly as we can.”

Scozzafava Backs Owens, Stuns GOP

Lifelong Republican throws support to former Democratic rival

After bowing out of the 23rd Congressional race Saturday, Republican Scozzafava released the following statement today at 2:06 p.m.:

I want to thank you for your support and friendship. Over the past 24 hours, I have had encouraging words sent to my family and me. Many of you have asked me whom you should support on Tuesday.

Since announcing the suspension of my campaign, I have thought long and hard about what is best for the people of this District, and how to answer your questions. This is not a decision that I have made lightly.

You know me, and throughout my career, I have been always been an independent voice for the people I represent. I have stood for our honest principles, and a truthful discussion of the issues, even when it cost me personally and politically. Since beginning my campaign, I have told you that this election is not about me; it's about the people of this District.

It is in this spirit that I am writing to let you know I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same.

It's not in the cards for me to be your representative, but I strongly believe Bill is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh's lasting legacy in the U.S. Congress. John and I worked together on the expansion of Fort Drum and I know how important that base is to the economy of this region. I am confident that Bill will be able to provide the leadership and continuity of support to Drum Country just as John did during his tenure in Congress.

In Bill Owens, I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship. He will be an independent voice devoted to doing what is right for New York. Bill understands this district and its people, and when he represents us in Congress he will put our interests first.

Please join me in voting for Bill Owens on Tuesday. To address the tough challenges ahead, we must rise above partisanship and politics and work together. There's too much at stake in this election to do otherwise.
