SARANAC LAKE - Matt Edge is a political activist on a mission. He plans to hang a political banner and photograph it in every New York county, ending in Albany.

"We're dropping banners in all 62 counties," Edge said. "We want to make it hard for him (Gov. Andrew Cuomo) to drop out of his commitment with campaign finance reform."

Edge said he started in the least populated areas of the North Country and will make his way downstate, ending in Albany. Thursday he was in Watertown, where he hung a banner, and Friday he did the same in Saranac Lake at the site of the Winter Carnival Ice Palace, which was taken down this week.
