As we celebrate Juneteenth, Henry Johnson’s story is a reminder of the struggles endured long after slavery ended.
While we have made progress, there is still work to do.
We must continue to build a future free from racism, discrimination, and hatred.

If you're out shoveling today and wanted to help AWD crews and Albany Fire Department you can by clearing snow around fire hydrants. Quick access to cleared hydrants will make access easier for our firefighters in the event of an emergency. Stay Safe!

Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman won Pennsylvania’s Senate race, defeating Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in a key pickup for Democrats. The victory gives Democrats some breathing room to keep the Senate majority even if they lose a seat of their own.

NEW: The NYS Appellate Division (NY's mid-level court) unanimously upholds state's absentee ballot law.
Means the law allowing anyone to vote via absentee b/c of fear of COVID-19 stays. Immediate appeal is expected by GOP candidates who sued. One more court layer to go.
