Matthew Avitabile reports in The Schoharie News that the Schoharie County Attorney has written a letter with a threat to the local newspaper. "Your story has now put the county squarely into the bullseye for a possible lawsuit to be brought by Mrs. Ethington. If this occurs then I will seriously consider drawing your publication in as a third-party defendant," Schoharie County Attorney Mike West wrote in a July 21 letter. West disputed two points in recent reporting, though the paper has answers for his charges. Read both West's letter and the paper's reply in The Schoharie News.
