Bettor catches machine malfunction with iPhone at Saratoga Casino

SARATOGA SPRINGS - Saratoga Casino and Raceway has become wildly popular for those looking for a little bit a luck.

Thousands upon thousands of visitors play the video lottery terminals here every year. Including Cyndie Wade-Wood of Lake George.

In the past few months, she noticed what appeared to be the slot machine mysteriously and randomly taking 50-dollars from her total.

"I called over an attendant and they shut down the game and opened it up and she went line by line. 'No, you see you got these points, you got those points. The computer says'" said Wade-Wood.

"I have to accept it and move on. How could I possibly prove it?"

She says a month or so later it happened again. And this time, her friend witnessed it.

"Watching the bonus round and all of the sudden, 40-dollars is gone from the bonus round. Okay, it happened again," said Bob Noah.

Voters go to polls to decide school budgets

Voters are going the polls and speaking out about their school budgets. The polls opened Tuesday morning, and they close at various times Tuesday night, depending on the district.

Voters are deciding the fate of the proposed 2012-2013 budgets.

This year, many school budgets are calling for deep cuts in spending, programs and staff.

Protesters gathered in Averill Park Monday afternoon. It was a last minute push to get Averill Park's budget passed.

The proposed budget would slash 30 jobs, cut programs, increase class size, and it includes a 3. 95 percent tax levy increase but some residents say a contingency budget would be much worse.

Budget cuts are also on the line in Bethlehem. That district is proposing to cut 57 jobs and raise the tax levy by 3.99 percent.

Feds OK co.'s plans to reopen Adirondack rail line

NORTH CREEK, N.Y. (AP) - A federal agency has approved a New York rail company's plan to resume freight traffic on a 30-mile stretch of unused tracks in the Adirondacks.          

Albany-area media outlets report that the federal Surface Transportation Board on Monday approved Chicago-based Iowa Pacific Holdings' request for common carrier status. The approval allows Iowa Pacific's Saratoga and North Creek Railway to provide freight service between North Creek and Newcomb, site of a former mine at Tahawus.          

New York state also approves the plan.          

Iowa Pacific wants to haul gravel-like mine waste out of Tahawus for commercial processing.
