I wondered why 13 was closed on Monday, and unfortunately it was an accident at the Ringwood Road intersection. Yesterday there was another crash, this time between a car and a tractor-trailer. Be careful out there!
Update: Alas, yesterday's accident was fatal. Update again: Worse, fatal to both people in the car.

Two stories take a look at what's likely going to be a long waterfall of the state dumping responsibilities to local government while pretending to do something about taxes. The first is about local government probably having to take over work on the Black Diamond Trail (on the other side of the county) because the state just doesn't have the resources. The second is on the County Legislature opposing a property tax cap in an age of ever-increasing state mandates. Something's going to break here in the next few years.
