Briana Pechacek wants all New York veteran families to be eligible for programs meant to help the loved ones of deceased or disabled service members â just like her father. U.S. Army Sgt. Steve Pechacek, of Ghent, sustained serious, life-altering leg and spinal injuries during live-fire combat training in South Korea in the early 1980s. Pechacek, 57, is a severely disabled veteran, but unless a bill becomes law, his children are ineligible for the Military Enhanced Recognition Incentive and Tribute, or MERIT, scholarship intended for the children, spouses or financial dependents of American service members who died or became permanently disabled. ....
Nearly two years have passed since the stateâs Upstate Cellular Coverage Task Force met to improve lacking cell phone service in rural and sparsely populated communities, but officials cast doubt Thursday the group will reconvene. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo created the Cellular Task Force, administered by Empire State Development, in September 2019. The group includes industry experts, community leaders, bipartisan lawmakers, environmental representatives and other stakeholders. The group first met Sept. 10, 2019, followed by a handful of meetings that fall. A group of upstate legislators requested an update Thursday in a letter to Cuomo and the department. âIn late March, we wrote to you requesting an update on the work and progress made by the Upstate Cellular Coverage Task Force . It appears the task force has yet to report on its work, nor did we receive a response from your office to our inquiry of now more than three months ago,â according to the letter ....

And they want to come here.â ....
ALBANY — Senate Republicans on Tuesday pushed against proposed parole reform expected to pass before the session ends next week with eight bills to bolster the rules to release an ....
Some Democrats in Albany believe New Yorkers arenât paying enough in taxes. They introduced the Climate and Community Investment Act into both the state Assembly and Senate. The legislation would impose a fee for greenhouse gas emissions upon fuel companies, and this fee would increase each year. âThe idea hinges on a proposed $55 surcharge on every short ton of carbon dioxide emissions, or about every 100 gallons of gasoline burned across the state. That would add up to $15 billion per year,â according to a story published April 25 by the website for State and City New York. âThirty percent of future revenues from the Climate and Community Investment Act would go toward a fund that would offer grants to community groups to help them better withstand climate change. Another 30% would directly fund renewable energy projects, and 33% would fund energy rebates to low- and moderate-income New Yorkers, nonprofits and small businesses. The remaining 7% of rev ....
