Mayors from 11 New York cities have called on leadership in the state legislature to enact a stricter gun law in the state.
The letter, addressed to State Senate leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, urges the leaders to take action and pass a law that would hold “bad actors” in the gun industry accountable.
The letter states New York neighborhoods suffer greatly as a result of gun violence with an average of 3,400 people shot and killed or wounded by gunfire each year. The letter also claims gun violence costs the state $5.9 Billion a year, $321 Million of that total the mayors claim are taxpayer dollars.
YORK, Maine The fiberglass head of a watchful Paul Bunyan sits atop a weathered tree stump near an empty field on a quiet back road, dutifully looking after the nearby river and the community.
Like many old tales, the history of where this statue was placed first and how it came to rest in its current spot has little documentation and relies heavily on oral accounts, including from family of the property owners, neighbors and giant statue fans. Details are hard to come by and even harder to confirm.
The family of residents David and Sharan Gross, who own about 100 acres where the bodiless statue head is now perched alongside Birch Hill Road near the York River, would like for now to keep the statue s story within their small circle, according to their daughter, Amanda Bouchard, who described the giant head as a benevolent presence.
