Albany, NY – Several thousand residents remain without power and running water in rural Schoharie County. Many, too, are still in emergency shelters. Those trying to return home and start the clean-up process are doing so amid a lack of information. WAMC's Ryan Delaney spoke with Marty Rosen, a reporter for watershedpost.com, in the hard-hit town of Blenheim.
