Stec Addresses Tupper Lake Water Crisis During Budget Hearing

Tupper Lake’s water crisis was at the top of state Sen. Dan Stec’s mind at a Wednesday state environmental conservation budget hearing. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, Stec, R-Queensbury, said he could have gone on for hours about the litany of environmental and infrastructure issues throughout the state’s 45th Senate district, which encompasses 84 towns, 20 villages and two cities. Per the hearing rules, he only had five minutes to address state Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Amanda Lefton.
