This week on The Gazette, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he’s on board with a proposal from Democrats in Congress to offer partial relief for states whose economies have been harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic. But, he says it would only be a stopgap measure. Our political observer Dr. Alan Chartock discusses monopolies in the wake of an antitrust lawsuit against Facebook.  Also,  Environmentalists are speaking out about a bill Governor Cuomo recently vetoed. They say the legislation would have protected thousands of miles of headwater streams and creeks.
