IN THE NEWS---IS MINNEAPOLIS HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT ITS POOR RELATIONSHIP WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT?

A group of small-business owners are suing the progressive city's government, taking exception to the city's policing policies, The Associated Press reported this week.

However, the business owners aren't claiming the Minneapolis Police Department is too strict.

The community members say they've been abandoned to an onslaught of crime and want the city to take more aggressive action around "George Floyd Square," describing the area as a chaotic hub.

Company says state law could delay dismantling Indian Point by 8 years

Environmental activists won big when Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a new regulation into law, prohibiting the release of nuclear wastewater into the Hudson River. But it could have some unintended consequences.

Village of Buchanan Mayor Theresa Knickerbocker says closing the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is going to have a huge impact. She says the village lost half of its revenue following the closure.

But since the initial announcement, the village has prepared for life after Indian Point. The only problem now is that life may start later, leaving the village in limbo as Holtec, the company decommissioning the site, says the law passed this summer could halt its efforts for eight years.  READ MORE AT https://nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-politics/new-york/news/2023/11/30/company-says-dismantling-indian-point-could-be-delayed-8-years
