Cheney to hunt in Dutchess County again

Vice President Dick Cheney is coming to Dutchess County again to go hunting, according to two sources familiar with his plans. Cheney will arrive Sunday night and head to a hunting club in Dutchess Monday morning.

Cheney is expected to arrive Sunday night at Stewart airport and travel to a hotel in Poughkeepsie, sources said.

On Monday morning, he is expected to leave Poughkeepsie and head to the Clove Valley Rod & Gun Club in LaGrangeville.

Motorists can expect road closures and considerable associated delays on Interstate 84 and Route 9 Sunday night, and on Route 55 and again on Interstate 84 on Monday. Depending on what time he travels Monday morning, his trip could disrupt school bus service in affected areas.

Cheney last visited Dutchess County in December, 2003, when he attended a fundraiser at the Pawling Mountain Club. His arrival shut down Interstate 84 for about an hour, including many crossings. On his departure, I-84 was closed again for about 20 minutes.

Gun control begins with Cheney
