PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

PLATTSBURGH — Jimmy Langley was once again named as chairman of the Clinton County Legislature.

Langley (R-Area 7, Peru) was unanimously chosen as chairman for 2009 at Wednesday night's organizational meeting.

He was first named chair in 2001.

"He leads in a forthright manner and is respected by all," Sam Trombley (R-Area 2, Ellenburg) said in nominating Langley for the post.

Robert Butler (R-Area 6, Saranac) was renamed as deputy chairman, and Trombley was renamed majority leader.

John Gallagher (D-Area 9, City of Plattsburgh) was renamed as minority leader.

William Favreau was named as the new county attorney.

Favreau replaces Dennis Curtin, who left late last year to pursue another career.

Legislators also appointed Richard Cantwell as the administrator of indigent defendants, Sherm Hamel as director for Off-Track Betting and Rolland Guay as clerk of Bangs and Bovine.

All terms are for 2009.

Legislative committee assignments for 2009 will be made in the next few weeks.
