where we have to think about which way the doors open up into our classrooms because we think maybe we ll need to protect our students from a man with a gun. crazy times. anthony swafford. it s scary, super crazy times. super crazy. thank you very much. later this hour, i ll speak to two librarians who survived the shootings in parkland and newt newtown. some fascinating details on when and how the fbi started investigating the trump campaign. connecticut congressman jim himes joins me here next. is sparking innovation. you see it in the southern tier with companies that are developing powerful batteries that make everything from cell phones to rail cars more efficient. which helps improve every aspect of advanced rail technology. all with support from a highly-educated workforce and vocational job training. across new york state, we re building the new new york.
