ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York county legislator resigned Monday after criticizing gay relationships as unsustainable, saying “give them an island, they’ll be gone in 40 years.”
Albany County legislator George Langdon IV resigned less than a week after a video surfaced of him making the remark at a local retreat titled “A Return to Liberty under the Constitution," prompting calls that he step down, according to the Times Union of Albany.
“Everything God does is sustainable, it’s sustainable. It’s perpetual," he said in the video. "Sorry, when you have homosexual relationships, it’s not perpetual. Give them an island, they’ll be gone in 40 years. Because God created us this way. There’s so much common sense that needs to be applied to our policies, our procedures that we do in our government.”

ALBANY, Ore. (AP) — Three teens who escaped from the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility Sunday have been arrested in Albany after being located by the Oregon State Police, officials said.
The Oregon Youth Authority says at about 2 p.m. Wednesday, the escapees were located in a vehicle in Lebanon by detectives, The Democrat-Herald reported.
The teens fled in the vehicle and were pursued by law enforcement, officials said. Near Albany, law enforcement laid down devices that flatten a vehicle’s tires which disabled their car.
One of the teens ran but was caught and arrested a short distance away. The other two teens stayed in the vehicle and were taken into custody. Officials said no one was injured.
