WATERFORD - A Stillwater man is accused of driving drunk and it's not the first time.

Waterford police say they pulled over 66-year-old Lewis Parker on Sunday and found he had a blood alcohol content of nearly three times the legal limit.

Looking at his record, police say he's had his license revoked seven times since 1997.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York's taxpayer rights advocate is advising property owners to review their assessments during municipal grievance periods, which end Tuesday in many communities.
    
Advocate Camille Enders says homeowners and businesses can check their assessments on their town's website to see if they are paying more than their fair tax share.
    
Local assessment rolls, required to be publicly available, list the property's estimated market value and tax exemptions.
    
If the market value is much higher than a likely sales price, she says the owner should consider talking with the assessor and then deciding whether to file an assessment grievance.
