WHEC News – by Berkeley Brean

There was some drama at the state capital when you were asleep last night. Around 2 o’clock in the morning, State Senators got a surprise. It was a vote to amend the controversial gun law in New York. The amendment exempts retired police officers from the new restrictions on ammunition and assault weapons as long as they are department issued firearms given to the officers for their job, before they retired.

Our question was simple: why do certain people get protection from the state that others — all non-police officers — don’t?   Continue reading “Update: NY gun law exemption for retired police advances”

U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.) on Saturday called on the city to waive water fees for Superstorm Sandy victims on Staten Island who have been billed despite using little or no water.

“All the city needs to do is take all the people who were deferred and check their status,” Grimm told WCBS 880. “If they are not in their homes and they haven’t been able to rebuild yet – for whatever reason – and they can look at the meter, there’s been no water usage whatsoever – then instead of deferring those payments, they should simply waive them.”   Continue reading “Rep. Grimm To City: Stop Billing Sandy Victims For Water They Can’t Use”
