N.Y. pols propose ‘clean slate’ legislation to seal and expunge criminal records Denis Slattery
ALBANY Advocates and lawmakers are again looking to give New Yorkers who have paid their debt to society a stigma-free fresh start.
A new “Clean Slate” bill being proposed would create a two-step process to automatically seal and eventually expunge past convictions and make it easier for those who served time to find work and housing opportunities.
“A criminal conviction shouldn’t be a life sentence to second-class status, but for many of our friends, neighbors, family members and fellow New Yorkers, that’s exactly what it is,” said sponsor Sen. Zellnor Myrie (D-Brooklyn). “Our Clean Slate legislation aims to change that.”

BRANT LAKE – An exclusive Adirondack summer camp is being sued by the parents of a 9-year-old boy who say he was sexually molested on the first night of his second summer there.
As first reported by the Post-Star, the complaint filed in the Supreme Court in Manhattan claimed that staff at Brant Lake Camp knew of the abuse and did nothing to prevent it.
The filing claims that camp Director Richard Gersten “turned a blind eye” to Dylan Stolz, a Long Island elementary school teacher who worked at the camp as a counselor for 33 years. And by doing so, the camp, that the New York Post reported hosted the sons of Ralph Lauren and Jerry Seinfeld, allowed other boys to suffer abuse.
