Pet of the Week – Pumpkin
He is a little more than a year old, friendly, sweet, with a beautiful soft coat and gorgeous golden eyes! He is playful, healthy and outgoing! He even comes when he’s called! Because of a urinary tract infection when he was younger, he does have a special diet of dry food.

Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay
Time to Change the Laws to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence
Last year, the Assembly Minority Conference hosted a series of forums across the state to better understand the often complex problems associated with domestic violence. During these forums, victims, advocates, service providers, law enforcement, and court personnel provided valuable insights that illustrated how our laws can be improved. As a result, my colleagues and I have recently introduced a package of bills that, if enacted, would close gaps in current law and provide law enforcement with tools they need to ultimately better protect victims of domestic violence.
