Lt. Gov. John Rodgers took the stand on Thursday to argue that a stretch of road that goes through his property doesn't belong to the town of Glover — and he’s asking the court to allow him to bar public access to the road while the case is pending.

No decision was made on whether to grant the preliminary injunction because Thursday’s hearing in Orleans County Superior Court, which was scheduled for an hour, ran roughly 90 minutes. The town of Glover wasn’t able to present its evidence or call its witnesses and will do so at a future hearing.

The yearslong dispute at the center of Thursday’s hearing centers on a 3.25-mile stretch of dirt road that goes through Rodgers’ land. Rodgers says the road, known as Rodgers Road, is his property, while the town says it’s owned by the municipality.
