RUFFLES REPORTS:

COOPERSTOWN – The May sales-tax check arrived at 197 Main St. today, and County Treasurer Allen Ruffles reports it is 26.9 percent lower than last year's May check.
That is a reduction of slightly less than $600,000, he said, but higher than the 25 percent NYSAC estimated.
The sales-tax allocations are issued every other month, and Otsego County's largest ones will be known in July and September, reflecting summer business –- or the lack of summer business.
