As a deadline approaches for Lake Ontario flood victims to seek state aid, there are indications that the money may be stretched thin.
At the eastern end of the lake, about $1 million already has been committed to 45 homeowners in a three-county area, WRVO reports.
But more than 900 homeowners have applied for help in Oswego, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties, says Gary Beasley, who heads a nonprofit administering area flood grants.
