Omitting names at the risk of potential libel... I asked my grandma if she knew this man who answered my public question on a Facebook group. BOY DOES SHE KNOW HIM! #familyhistory #binghamton #broomecounty #research #historysky
Screenshot of a text message conversation. Me: "Do you know a man named [redacted]? On the Broome Co Historical Society Facebook page, he responded to me that he was born in 1943 at the Ames and heard inferences of the 'alternative uses' of some rooms at the apartment building" Grandma: "Well, well, he admits it... His father was [redacted], a very shady BOOKIE, he took bets which at the time was very illegal.... And lived at the Ames... Got many stories about that family.... After his mother got a divorce she & [redacted] & sisters got real snooty.... At school treated me like dirt... " Me: "Ohhhh I opened a can of worms there!" Grandma: "But funny....I have lots of BOOKIE stories..." Me: "That sounds awesome honestly!"

We have the power to lower energy bills by passing the NY HEAT Act. No one should be forced to choose between staying warm or staying afloat.

We must also pass the New York For All Act which prevents ICE from using our state resources.
