County Executive Murphy hit from two fronts in New York
In Albany the Democratic county legislature overrode Murphy vetoes for probation pay raises by 16 to 3, first such override since the county executive system began. The New York state Supreme Court reduced Murphy powers, ruling against his minority leader and limiting executive veto influence. Meanwhile unemployment in the Capital District jumped in January to 7.5 percent, highest since records began, with state 9.3 percent and national 8.2 percent.

Berkshire Community College informs four fulltime faculty they will not be reappointed next year due to looming budget shortages. Dean Jurgen Thomas says decisions are programmatic and not performance based.
