By JGOLDSTEIN on  From cityofplattsburgh.wordpress.com
The same Mayor who is demanding a local retirement community be put on the tax rolls and not be a tax exempt entity - may have indirectly enjoyed the benefits of tax-exempt status himself. Susie Bouyea who is the wife of City of Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak – is part of the Bouyea family who owned Bouyea Baking Company in Plattsburgh. Sources have confirmed — the former Bakery was granted tax exempt status when it was in operation. The exempt status meant the former Plattsburgh company...Read Full Story

By JGOLDSTEIN on  From cityofplattsburgh.wordpress.com
  This letter is in response to Mayor Kasprzaks statement in the Press Republican on 12/22/07 regarding “Mayor will seek concessions the City Unions.” Mr. Lotemplio says I did not return any phone calls from the Press.   Hello-I was having surgery on 12/21.   Again, Mr. Lotemplio lacks the professionalism for presenting facts.   For the Mayor to go to the Press with these statements when there was no way I could have responded shows exactly what kind a Mayor and Press Reporter we are dealing...Read Full Story

Editorial - Mayor or Sandbox Bully?

By JGOLDSTEIN on  From cityofplattsburgh.wordpress.com
The following letter appeared in the Sunday January 13th edition of the Plattsburgh Press Republican: TO THE EDITOR:   Your editorial writer is seriously embarrassing your paper’s reputation by jumping into bed with Mayor Kasprzak.  The editorial you headlined “Stewart spending must be proved” is over the top.  It aids and abets the Mayor’s practice of loudly attacking everything he thinks will generate headline(and with your help it usually does) and whacking anybody who appears vulnerable...Read Full Story

In August of 1996, the rock band Phish, which was based across Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont, held the first of its seven weekend-long festivals at the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base. The festival, called The Clifford Ball, attracted 65,000 fans from all over the country and featured seven sets of music by the band. Fans camped out onsite in tents and RV's, creating community of fans that became the ninth largest city in New York over the weekend.

In 1999, the City of Plattsburgh elected Dan Stewart (R), New York State's first openly gay mayor.

On April 20, 2002, there was an earthquake a few miles southwest of Plattsburgh in Clintonville 16:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC). It measured 5.1 on the Richter Scale, and was felt as far south as Pennsylvania and as far north as Maine.

On January 2, 2006, the Latin inscription on the city seal was corrected. The phrase was garbled when another revision was made 60 years earlier. The seal now correctly says Ipsa Sibi Præmium Virtus which in English is “Virtue is its own reward.” The seal and phrase were originally chosen by the City's Common Council, from a contest held in the 1920s. The mistake was corrected by Dr. Ann Tracy, a Latin scholar and distinguished teaching professor of English at the State University of New York College at Plattsburgh, and Plattsburgh City Clerk Keith Herkalo, after a new city police officer asked what the phrase meant.
