Corruption trial of ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo aide to begin
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — For decades, Joseph Percoco was among the most loyal aides and confidants to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, so close to his family that the governor once likened him to a brother. This week, he faces trial in New York City on federal charges that he used that relationship to collect a fortune in bribes from two companies doing business with the state. Jury selection is set to begin Monday in a case that has already proven to be a source of personal pain and political embarrassment for Cuomo, a Democrat and possible presidential candidate in 2020 who came into office vowing to do something about Albany’s corrupt culture. While Cuomo is not accused of wrongdoing and...

Thumbs Up! Jan. 22, 2018
Retired Special Forces Green Beret Lt. Col. Dan Hammack is the face of the Purple Heart Outdoors Tour held annually in Southwest Georgia. Hammack knows first-hand just what is entailed in serving as a Special Operational Forces operator.

All invitees are, however, either a representative of the Green Berets, U.S. Army Rangers, Marines Special Operations Command (MARSOC), Delta Force Operatives or Navy SEALS. With a rare exception, all are active-duty personnel. The...

New year, same old problems in health care
State lawmakers are back at the Capitol for a legislative session, which will likely be dominated by budget talks. And with health care being a major subject of debate in every legislative session, I am pleading with policymakers to keep affordability at the forefront. Each year, state and federal lawmakers pass dozens of laws that are well-intentioned, but often lead to higher costs. As a result, 7 cents of every dollar you spend on health insurance goes directly to the government, not for care,… ......
