   QUEENSBURY - This winter, plow drivers will have extra protection from   
   an electronic Big Brother.   
      
   The town is buying a geofencing system from Verizon for $16,000 a year.   
   The system will continuously track all 70 town vehicles.   
      
   "This system will alert us if there is something unusual," town   
   Supervisor John Strough said. "If a plow is motionless for an hour,   
   that is a problem. That might be an emergency situation. Maybe the   
   driver had a heart attack. Hopefully not."
