ALBANY â Gov. Andrew Cuomo drew complaints from Republican legislative leaders Wednesday after announcing plans to use the Memorial Day weekend to honor essential workers who have died from COVID-19.
The Memorial Day holiday was created to honor U.S. soldiers, sailors and airmen who have fallen during war.
Noting the tradition began in upstate Waterloo, Assembly GOP Leader William Barclay, R-Pulaski, said Cuomoâs move âinsults the countless men and women who died and fought for this country.â
THE TRUE MEANING
Both Barclay and Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt, R-Niagara County, said Cuomo should have selected a different time from Memorial Day weekend to honor front-line workers who died in the pandemic.

On April 24, while on evening patrol, ECO Grady received a tip about a subject fishing at the end of the new jetty at Cedar Beach by the inlet to Mount Sinai Harbor. The complainant said the angler was catching and keeping small striped bass in a blue cooler stashed in some rocks. The complainant had already informed the fisherman that the fish he caught were unlawful to keep, but the angler ignored the warning. ECO Grady arrived at the location just as the subject was loading his fishing gear into the trunk of his car. ECO Grady could see a fish tail sticking out of the cooler and proceeded to inspect its contents. The ECO found two small striped bass outside the legal slot size limits and ticketed the angler for possession of over-limit and undersized fish. The officer then returned the striped bass to the water.
