Federal lawsuit accuses Owego McDonald’s of safety failures, retaliation
Former employees of a McDonald's franchise in the Village of Owego have filed a federal class action lawsuit alleging safety failures, retaliation and other violations. A lawsuit filed on Nov. 9 alleges that the franchisee company that owns the McDonald’s at 29 Hickories Park Road in Owego kept employees working through carbon dioxide leaks and fire-safety failures, failed to pay overtime and wages for all hours worked, retaliated against employees who raised safety and wage concerns and refused to accommodate a manager’s disabilities, allegedly forcing her out of her job. The initial complaint names Mac-Clark Restaurants, Inc., a McDonald's franchisee company that owns more than a dozen McDonald's restaurants across New York including the Owego location that employed the three former employees who are suing. It also names two of the company's managers — a Human Resources Manager and a Supervisor. Former employees Savanna Tuttle, Hailey Swancott and Victoria Tiesi, represented by attorney Megan Quattlebaum, are seeking unpaid wages, back pay, front pay, lost benefits and compensatory, punitive and statutory damages. In a statement, Quattlebaum said they are looking forward to "holding Mac-Clark accountable in court." "Our complaint sets out that Mac-Clark treated the safety and the paychecks of its

An Elmira church burned to rubble. What's next for cleanup, development
A large pile of rubble that has sat in the heart of downtown Elmira for more than a year and a half will soon be cleaned up and marketed for redevelopment, city officials said. It was February 2025 when a blaze broke out at the former First Baptist Church at 121 W. Church St., which was vacant at the time. The inferno gutted the historic building, which was built in the 1890s, and shortly thereafter the City of Elmira hired a demolition company from Syracuse to tear down the building, which was deemed a total loss and a safety hazard. A fenced-in pile of bricks has remained at that site since, but that will soon change, said Elmira Mayor Dan Mandell. After the city unsuccessfully tried to get the owner of record, Marian Laurentiu of Tannery Creek Road in Corning, to deal with it, Chemung County took the future of that site out of Laurentiu's hands by foreclosing on the property in June for more than $23,000 in unpaid property taxes. At its Oct. 19 meeting, the Elmira City Council voted unanimously to pay the county $30,000 to purchase the former church property, and Mandell said the next step is
