Commentary: New York should get lead out of schools’ drinking water (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’ve known since ancient times that exposure to lead is a public health threat. Aging infrastructure, old paint in buildings, emissions from cars, and, sadly, drinking water have all been sources of lead exposure in the United States. But exposure to lead is of particular concern when it comes to children. Their growing bodies act as a sponge when it comes to lead. Lead found in drinking water, particularly in schools, is an especially pernicious threat. There is no safe level of exposure to le
Commentary: New York’s broken promises to colleges (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s that time of year when leaves are turning color, autumn is around the corner, and colleges have opened across New York.

The costs to New Yorkers will go beyond the damage to the public’s h
Commentary: Election security comes to Albany (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Echoing the Trump Administration’s false claims about election security, and seizing on a new revelation that a New Jersey computer glitch allowed 400 non-citizens to vote in that state, top Republican officials in New York have called for legislation that requires certain forms of identification when registering to vote and claimed that Democrats would “steal” the election for governor. “Stealing” an election is, of course, a criminal act, and there is no evidence to support the claim.
