Patty Ritchie (R-Heuvelton) took the oath of office minutes after midnight on New Year’s Day and became Oswego County’s representative in the State Senate.

Oswego County recently increased the fees you will pay for leaving your trash and garbage at the county’s transfer stations. The new fees begin today.
An annual sticker to dump at any county transfer station costs $10 more. A punch card for 20 bags of trash is $2 higher. Tipping fees are up $5. It will not cost more to get rid of TVs or microwaves.
