Todd Blanche says “You are fired, Donald Kinsella.”

Kinsella was just selected as the US Attorney for the Northern District of New York by the district’s judges, as permitted by statute.

15 things that don't belong in your recycling bin
Widespread confusion about the recycling requirements means that many sustainably minded people toss items in the single-stream bin that don’t belong there.

New York quietly passed a law in 2022 that allowed upstate renters to sue their landlords to compel repairs and other such relief.

I learned that 320 or so tenants have filed lawsuits, sometimes at great personal cost.

Read my @timesunion story here:
Upstate New York renters can sue landlords, often at high personal cost
Albany tops 70 of 320 Article 7-D cases as upstate tenants use the Tenant Dignity and Safe Housing Act to seek repairs, rent cuts and refunds.

#RankedChoiceVoting in NYC "has shown what’s possible when we prioritize voters, and now we have a map showing real reform delivers real results."

– Susan Lerner of Common Cause/NY & @luriedanielfavors.bsky.social of the Center for Law & Justice in @timesunion
Commentary: New York's voting reforms are working
The recent New York City primary shows strong engagement via ranked-choice voting, and broader reforms are shifting how, when and whether New Yorkers vote.

- At the @timesunion, I cover news in general but also often write about the HV’s bustling dining scene (I always accept restaurant recs!)

- I’m a sucker for great stories, especially weird ones. Google “Fybrefest”…

New York workers lose $1-3 billion to wage theft each year. The EmPIRE Worker Protection Act would empower workers & unions to enforce the Labor Law - and generate $200 mill+ in revenue.

I wrote about EmPIRE in the @timesunion
