A special meeting of the New Lebanon Town Board was heard last Monday to discuss yet once again the zoning plight of Robert Mittnight Jr.
Mittnight Jr. has had zoning problems in New Lebanon of one sort or another now for almost nine years. Recently a New York State Supreme Court Judge ruled that Mittnight Jr. had until April 30 to remove building and other materials from his property. If he didn’t he would be looking at jail time.

New Lebanon’s Town Hall Saga

By

by Thaddeus Flint
At the April 11 meeting of the New Lebanon Town Board, the latest installment of the Tale of the New Lebanon Town Hall came to light.
