The state attorney general’s Hate Crime Unit is looking into racist remarks and profanity that shut down an online discussion of the Glens Falls Police Reform and Reinvention Plan, the Post-Star is reporting. City police have also been investigating, the story says.
The Saratoga Springs City Council elections could be crazy, says a story in Saratoga Today.

Also in the Post-Star, Crandall Park is hosting a disc-golf tournament. The Crandall Park Beautification Committee won permission to host two tournaments in June. One of them is a tourney of 80 professional Disc Golf Association players. The new 18-hole disc golf course runs throughout the park, and the tourney will be part of the new course’s opening, the story says.
