N Y Fight Renewed Over Drinking Age in Legislature
New York lawmakers renewed a two year old push to raise the state’s minimum drinking age from 18 to 21. Assemblyman Lucio Russo reintroduced the bill. Senator George Metcalf filed it in the Senate. Prospects look slim as a governor’s committee urged further study and top Republicans gave little support. Meanwhile Connecticut and New Jersey governors urged action to align age limits. A Chicago death report notes Annie Biggs Williams, listed as 125, died, with burial planned in Granada, Mississippi. Milford Fire Board discussed a town job evaluation program and suspended two firefighters for leaving duty without notice.
