CAPE VINCENT — Town Supervisor Urban C. Hirschey apparently is off the hook after being accused of breaking state law by allegedly leaking "confidential" documents to the public.

In a letter to the Town Council, Mark G. Gebo, town attorney, wrote that Stacy Aronowitz, deputy chief of the Public Integrity Bureau at the state attorney general's office, advised him on March 7 that the office "will not be taking action" on the town's request for an investigation into the allegations that Mr. Hirschey violated General Municipal Law by leaking attorney-client-privileged documents to the Wind Power Ethics Group.
