Harckham, Levenberg Bill to Stop Radiological Wastewater Discharge into the Hudson Advances in Legislature--User Submitted — May 24, 2023

New York State Senator Pete Harckham

New York State Senator Pete Harckham and Assemblywoman Dana Levenberg announced today that the legislation (S.6893/A.7208) they introduced to protect the Hudson Valley from the adverse and substantial economic impact resulting from the disposal of radiological agents by decommissioning nuclear power plants has passed through the Environmental Conservation Committee of both houses of the New York State Legislature.

The bill addresses the interests of communities along the Hudson River, which are highly concerned that radiological substances put into the river as part of the decommissioning process will have both short- and long-term effects on local real estate values and economic development.

“We have to protect the economic vitality of the communities alongside the Hudson River, which is the backbone of the region, every which way we can– this means being hyper-vigilant about any actions that could cause home and business owners to suffer economic distress,” said Harckham.

NEWSWEEK---TARGET STOCK FALLS AS COMPANY SCRAMBLES TO AVOID BUD LIGHT'S FATE

Story by Giulia Carbonaro • Yesterday 4:48 AM--Target has removed some of its LGBTQ+ merchandise from its stores ahead of Pride month in June, after a controversy around its "tuck-friendly" swimsuits caused a backlash, the retailer's shares fell and some staff reported "threats."

The swimsuits, which allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to hide their private parts, caused a stir from critics who accused the American retailer of trying to sell the product to children. Target told the Associated Press that kids' swimsuits in the Pride collection did not include the "tuck-friendly" label that angered so many customers. One kids' black swimskirt for sale at Target featured a tag reading: "Thoughtfully Fit on Multiple Body Types and Gender Expressions."
