Curran to NHL: Let the Isles Play at
Nassau Coliseum
The Nassau County Executive Laura Curran
is writing to the NHL to try and move all of the Islanders 20-21 season to the Coliseum.
Right now, they are splitting their home games between Barclays Center in
Brooklyn, and the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale. She wrote to the NHL that the
fans and the players want the games at the Coliseum. Recent evidence shows that
the players perform better and they have more wins when playing there too. The
problem is that based on their contract, the Islanders are supposed to split
their time between Barclays and the Coliseum but would rather only play at the Coliseum.
The Islanders organization and their fans are experiencing this problem.
Man Charged With Sex Abuse Day After
Release Under New Bail Law
This
article is discussing a specific man who was arrested for public lewdness and criminal
possession of a weapon. After sitting next to a woman on the train, he began masturbating
on the train in front of this woman and in public. A few days later, he was
arrested in New York City for another sexual incident. New York’s new bail law is
playing a major role in this new year’s criminal cases. The new law states that
there will no longer be a cost associated with bail. This means that criminals
are able to walk the streets freely with no monetary value. New Yorker’s are extremely
mad about this because repeat offenders are becoming more prevalent. There have
been many different cases of people getting arrested, released under the bail
law, and quickly arrested again. The problem is the new bail law. Nothing is
being enforced because of the lack of monetary value associated with the bail.
This makes it difficult to try and control harmful people on the streets. New
York residents, and policeman are experiencing this problem because it is making
their streets no longer as safe and their jobs more difficult.
