SNIP Speaking during an unrelated press briefing Sunday in Midtown Manhattan, Gillibrand said she decided to finally come out against Cuomo because she felt it was important that New York be led by someone able to give the pandemic their undivided attention. “Every situation is different,” said Gillibrand, asked how the allegations against Cuomo compared to the accusations against Franken, who ultimately did resign after multiple women accused him of inappropriate physical contact. SNIP “Because of the multiple, credible sexual harassment and misconduct allegations, it’s clear that Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of his governing partners as well as...

Controversial legislation to overhaul voting by mail in Georgia and how voters can cast early ballots is racing toward the finish line in the General Assembly amid a sharp outcry from local voting-rights and church groups. Two bills, both proposing dozens of changes to Georgia’s election system, recently cleared major hurdles in the current legislative session and are on a collision course to final passage as top lawmakers in the state Senate and House of Representatives decide which measures to keep and which to scrap. Most likely on the chopping block is a proposal to end Georgians’ ability to vote...

The Gun Owners’ Action League and others are protesting proposed increases in MassWildlife’s freshwater fishing, hunting and trapping license fees — with some rates jumping 200% or more. “This dramatic increase request comes at a rather troubling time,” the league said in a statement. “It is GOAL’s opinion that before we agree to any further fee increases, some serious issues need to be addressed.” Under the proposal, a fishing license for a Massachusetts resident would increase from $22.50 to $40 per year. The costs of licenses and permits to hunt bear, turkey, pheasant, waterfowl, small game and deer, including archery...

The allegations about Cuomo are causing debate among my co-workers. We spend most of our waking hours with our work colleagues. If it’s sexual harassment when one person expresses interest in another then millions of people who have found their mates at work were sexually harassed. Is it harassment simply to express interest in someone? How would you know unless you ask? Well, if the person expressing interest is the boss, that boss is taking a huge risk. If the other party isn’t interested it’s mighty difficult for the other party to be comfortable in their job, even if the...
