Governor Cuomo Renewed his call this weekend for national lawmakers to pass gun control legislation, following the latest mass shooting in Oregon, and the shooting of his Legal Aide Carey Gabay last month during gang violence at a New York City Parade:
(Cuomo 10-6-15)
Cuomo said that New York has some of the toughest gun control laws on the books, but people sneaking in guns from other states can easily undermine them.
State police responded to 2106 Richmond Road in the Town of Union, where they uncovered a methamphetamine-manufacturing lab. Police arrested 34 year old Andrew Honnick of Endicott, with Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance & Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine & 47 year old Martine Ritz of Endicott, for Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance, & Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine. Police also charged 47-year-old Robert White of Endicott with Unlawful Possessions of Marihuana. Honnick and Ritz were arraigned and remanded to the Broome County Jail with out bail. White was arraigned and sent to the Broome County Jail in lieu of $250.00 cash bail.
Governor Cuomo signed legislation to strengthen financial support for the families of terrorist attack victims. The new bill will allow insurers to waive commission fees associated with the purchase of annuity insurance for families affected by any terrorist attack on the United States, expanding on the current law which only allows a waiver for families affected by the September 11, 2001 attacks. Insurers will now be able to offer their services pro-bono and provide further financial relief to families.

Battling back from the recession in 2008 and 2009, New York has added 538,000 jobs since 2009 and last year had the strongest growth since 2000 with 143,000 jobs added. The other upstate regions including the Finger Lakes and the Hudson Valley added jobs at rates less than half the national average during the same stretch. Jobs increased 2.4 percent in the Hudson Valley, 2.1 percent in the Finger Lakes and 1.5 percent in Western New York over the 5-year span, but were down 2.2 percent in the Southern Tier.

In June, the state committed to 3 major energy benchmarks for the next 15 years: reducing all greenhouse-gas emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels, decreasing energy consumption in buildings by 23 percent from 2012 levels and making sure half of the state’s energy is produced from renewable sources.
