ALBANY – When Sen. Chuck Schumer talks about his new role as Senate majority leader, he weaves in how he will proceed with articles of impeachment against former President Donald Trump with how he hopes to bring more high-tech companies to Utica.
Schumer, a Democrat, has always prided himself on balancing his national role with his state responsibilities, never seemingly finding a local issue too small to take on or a place to visit for one of his well-known Sunday press conferences.
Now as one of the most powerful people in the nation, the new majority leader ticks off a lengthy list of goals he has for New York, the nation and, of course, moving forward with an historic impeachment trial of ex-President Donald Trump.
SUNY campuses reopen, and every student will get a weekly COVID test. How it will work
New York State Team
ALBANY - SUNY students are starting to return to campuses on Monday and will have a new assignment when they return: A weekly COVID-19 test.
SUNY classes are set to resume Feb. 1, and on-campus students, faculty and staff will have to take weekly COVID tests, Chancellor Jim Malatras announced Sunday.
The move comes after SUNY ended on-campus classes before Thanksgiving break and hopes to keep its low on-campus infection rate.
“As our campuses are beginning their spring semesters, we are both excited for our students, and also aware of the challenges that still lie ahead because of COVID,” Malatras said in a statement.
