By Jasmyn Belcher

Oswego, NY – County Executives from across New York are voicing concerns about efforts to address the state's budget deficit and a Fort Drum soldier who went AWOL a year ago has returned to the Northern New York base. Those stories and more in this newscast.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.
