Today’s roundup of news from around the state comes on one of the dog days of Summer, a day when many of us try to get out of work early or start a long weekend vacation. News is like that, too.
Lacking a dominating story, let’s just jump to…
Elsewhere:
- Wont get fooled again: State Police want to increase the Governor’s security detail, after ex-Gov. Spitzer gave them the slip a few too many times.
- Speaking of whom, Spitzer’s sending refunds to donors who want money back, but they won’t get it all.
- From adult porn (scandalous but not illegal) to kiddie porn (definitely illegal): AG Cuomo gets more internet providers to block access to child porn.
- Snowmobile trails will get more state cash.
- Gov. Paterson’s at a school choice conference in Wyoming.
- Before he left, he signed a bill that will allow alcohol in college classrooms.
Apropos Of Not Very Much:
- NYPD fights and loses, will have to make public details of half a million “stop and frisks”.
- Minimum wage rises faster in NY State than average wages, not that you’d want to live on it.
- How many Shelly Silvers could be on the ballot this year?
And Finally:
- Meet the nation’s most efficient dentist — all his work is painless.
Enjoy the weekend, and drop an interesting story into the comments.
