(AP) Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday blamed upstate weather for New York's continuing population decline, a day after his Republican challenger said Cuomo's economic policies had failed to stanch the flow of migrants heading to other states.

Cuomo told reporters Tuesday that while job losses and high taxes once drove people to leave New York, his administration has reversed that trend and improved the local economic situation.

(AP) New York state will soon make it illegal to finance the purchase of dogs, cats or other companion animals through lease-to-own schemes.

Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday signed legislation taking effect in 90 days that will ban the practice of using a pet as security for financing agreements with pet dealers.

With 50 percent of children in Rochester living in poverty, one necessity that may get overlooked for the youngest of these children is diapers.

The Junior League of Rochester is one group that has been trying to curb the need, with Rochester’s only diaper bank. With this week being National Diaper Awareness Week, they want the community to pitch in and help.

New York state is hosting three public listening sessions this week in New York City to gather input on proposals to legalize recreational marijuana.

Two years ago, after the death of Bill Nojay, Joe Errigo was thrust into running for the 133rd Assembly District seat. He won, beating Democrat Barbara Baer.

Baer is running again. It's uncertain whether Errigo will still try to win on a 3rd party line.

Marjorie Byrnes, a former Rochester City Court Judge, and former Assistant District Attorney, defeated the incumbent Errigo on Thursday in the Republican primary for the 133rd District. She will now face Baer in November’s general election.

Beatriz LeBron will remain on the Rochester City School Board, and Judith Davis will join it after they finished as the top two vote-getters in the Democratic primary. Melanie Funchess finished third.

LeBron and Funchess were appointed to the board in early January after Malik Evans was elected to Rochester City Council and Mary Adams left the board.

The wins by LeBron and Davis means they will serve until the end of 2019, the remainder of Evans’ and Adams’ terms. They can run for four-year terms of their own in November 2019.
