Some members of the New York state ethics commission pressed for a subpoena to look into a controversy surrounding Governor Andrew Cuomo’s hiring of former aide Larry Schwartz as a “volunteer” COVID-19 vaccine czar. The state Attorney General is investigating whether Schwartz inappropriately tried to trade political loyalty for vaccine deliveries to some county leaders. Cuomo’s appointees to the ethics commission voted the proposal down.
Schwartz, a former chief of staff to Cuomo, headed up the state’s vaccination distribution as an unpaid volunteer.
Some county leaders accused Schwartz of trying to trade loyalty to the Democratic governor, who is embroiled in several scandals, for access to vaccine doses. Cuomo and Schwartz deny that occurred, but the allegations are the subject of a probe by Attorney General Tish James, as well as an impeachment inquiry by the state Assembly.

Sometimes you see something that takes your breath away. I mean, something that literally makes you gasp in awe. That’s exactly what happened to me when I saw these pictures of eagles in mid-air that were taken right here in the Hudson Valley. I reached out to the photographer, Jim Yates, to find out what exactly was happening in the pics. He explained that one of the eagles is part of a local nesting pair in the Kingston area, and she was protecting her territory from a single intruder eagle. Thanks, Jim, for letting us share these magnificent pictures.
