Two places serve great dumplings, columnist says

In a long-winded column about how he might cook something, and about dogs, and about $1 billion windfalls, Steve Barnes of the Times Union’s “Table Hopping” column said he really likes Latham’s Ala Shanghai Chinese Cuisine’s soup dumplings.

Lawsuit: Superfund Act is unconstitutional

The U.S. Justice Department says New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act is unconstitutional, and is asking a judge to make that official, the Times Union is reporting. Twenty states have also filed suit in Albany fighting months ago against the state’s superfund act which hopes to collect about $75 billion from oil and gas companies for their greenhouse gas emissions over the past 30 years. The lawsuit challenges the notion that New York has the ability to police the past actions of the companies and that the state used their law to govern other states and even the world, the story says.

Wildcat Prison strike leaves counties holding the bag

A story in New York Focus, says that the wildcat strike last February when thousands of guards walked off the guard — and about 15% were later fired — have left prisons under-staffed and county jails holding more people than normal, the story says. The problem is moving the backlog of prisoners who should be in state correctional facilities but were held in county jails during the strike. Some jails have handled this better than others, the story says. The state prison agency had fewer corrections officers at the beginning of August than they did at the beginning of May, shortly after the strike.
