• Montgomery County to file lawsuit seeking unredacted solar documents (dailygazette.com) — Glen residents are at the center of a growing fight over large industrial solar projects, including the already state-approved Mill Point Solar I and a proposed Mill Point Solar II on thousands of acres of local farmland. Montgomery County is now preparing a lawsuit for unredacted project documents, arguing the state's process sidelines local laws and could permanently reshape Glen's rural character and economy. 
• Police: Body scan catches crack pipe on Amsterdam woman booked on bench warrants (wnyt.com) — A Montgomery County woman was taken to the county jail in Glen on bench warrants, where a body scan allegedly revealed and led to the destruction of a crack pipe, resulting in additional charges.
