QUEENSBURY - This winter, plow drivers will have extra protection from an electronic Big Brother.
The town is buying a geofencing system from Verizon for $16,000 a year. The system will continuously track all 70 town vehicles.
"This system will alert us if there is something unusual," town Supervisor John Strough said. "If a plow is motionless for an hour, that is a problem. That might be an emergency situation. Maybe the driver had a heart attack. Hopefully not."
