NEWS CREW BOOTED FROM STATE PROPERTY FOR FILMING OUTSIDE EMPTY PRISON. NOW, PEOPLE ARE WONDERING JUST WHAT IS GOING ON THERE. WNYT-TV was on Mount McGregor filming near an empty correctional facility Thursday for a story about Grant Cottage, which is where President Ulysses S. Grant died of throat cancer 129 years ago. The news channel shot footage of a re-enactment Wednesday and went back the next day for some more video. What happened when the crew was on the state property for this second time was all caught on camera with Mount McGregor prison in the background. “No filming,” a corrections officer, who identified himself as Lt. Dorn and would not give his first name, told WNYT reporter Mark Mulholland. “We’re doing a story on Grant’s Cottage,” Mulholland responded. The officer then alleged that Mulholland and his crew were not up there to film for Grant’s anniversary but for “different purposes.” He told them that they would have to leave the mountain all together and not switch locations to Grant Cottage as Mulholland proposed instead. “You’re telling us we can’t visit a historic site?” Mulholland said. “No, you’re going to have to run that through Albany,” the officer responded, noting that they could visit but not film at Grant Cottage. Mulholland and the film crew tried to take their equipment to the historic site instead but were met by another corrections officer who blocked their access. theblaze/stories/2014/07/30/news-crew-booted-from-state-property-for-filming-outside-empty-prison-now-people-are-wondering-just-what-is-going-on-there/
