<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 15, 2010) Long Lake native Anne Harrington was recently named Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation. It’s a wordy title. It means she and her staff at the National Nuclear Security Administration keep an eye on materials, outside the U.S., that could be used to make a nuclear weapon. For our occasional series, Moving the World, Harrington spoke with Jonathan Brown about starting out in the Adirondacks and working on global security in Washington D.C.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16607/20101103/ritchie-claims-victory-in-senate-race</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 3, 2010) Republican Patty Ritchie claimed victory early this morning in her race for state Senate against Democratic incumbent Darrel Aubertine.It remains a tight race, with fewer than 4,000 votes separating the two candidates in the 48th District, spanning Jefferson, Oswego and western St Lawrence Counties. Ritchie took 52 percent of the vote, making it difficult for Aubertine to eke out a victory.Jonathan Brown reports that—even as election officials prepare to count absentee ballots—Aubertine is refusing to concede.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 29, 2010) Across the North Country—and throughout much of the U.S.—candidates are calling for more jobs and less taxes. But in the North Country, many paychecks depend on taxes. This is certainly the case in the 122nd Assembly District, spanning all of Lewis and much of St Lawrence and Jefferson counties.The candidates in this race are among the few politicians who acknowledge their plans include cutting the positions relied on by many people across the region.As Jonathan Brown reports, this isn’t the only thing making this a key race to watch [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16586/20101029/tough-choices-in-122nd-assembly-race">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 28, 2010) Across the North Country—and throughout much of the U.S.—candidates in this election season are calling for more jobs and less taxes. While each candidate says he or she is uniquely qualified to stimulate the economy while lowering our tax burden, very few offer specifics on what public sector jobs and services they’d be willing to cut. It’s a sensitive issue in the North Country where so many paychecks—and so much of our economy—depend on taxes. This is certainly the case in the 122nd Assembly District, spanning all of Lewis and much of St Lawrence and Jefferson Counties.The candidates in this race are among the few politicians who acknowledge their plans include cutting the positions relied on by many people across the region. As Jonathan Brown reports, this isn’t the only thing making this a key race to watch.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 21, 2010) Similarities—not differences—define the state Senate race in the 47th district, spanning Lewis and parts of Oneida and St Lawrence Counties. Republican incumbent Joe Griffo and Democratic challenger Mike Hennessy both have deep roots in the area. Both have been elected to local government. And they both agree on the top issue:Griffo says, &quot;It’s all economic.&quot; &quot;Jobs, jobs, jobs,&quot; says Hennessy.Both candidates say the financial future of the region is linked to reduced taxes. And as Jonathan Brown reports, both are campaigning under the banner of “change.” [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16537/20101021/top-state-senate-issue-jobs-jobs-jobs">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>
