The APA’s legal battle with Essex farmer Sandy Lewis and his public disagreements with local government leaders made regular headlines.In an editorial written after Stiles announced his resignation, the Glens Falls Post Star blasted his leadership and accused the APA of “stomping” on individual rights.Stiles sat down to talk with Brian Mann about the future of the Adirondack Park, about his own reputation, and about the reforms and changes that he thinks are still needed.Note:  So far, Governor Andrew Cuomo hasn’t named a replacement for Stiles.  An interim chairman is expected to be picked before the APA meets August 18th in Ray Brook.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 3, 2011) After four years as head of the Adirondack Park Agency, chairman Curt Stiles is stepping aside. His tenure was marked by big clashes with elected officials in the Park, who lobbied Governor Andrew Cuomo not to reappoint Stiles for a second term. But Stiles also pushed through major reforms of the APA’s regulatory approach, and engineered the first legislative change to the Park Agency Act in a generation.Stiles, a former Xerox executive who lives on Upper Saranac Lake, sat down to talk in-depth with Brian Mann. Here’s the first part of their conversation.Note: Tomorrow during The Eight O’clock Hour, we’ll hear from Stiles about the environmental challenges still facing the Park and about some of his own controversial decisions, including his handling of the Sandy Lewis farm case in Essex County.
