State helps port expand with rail investment start this summer
Terry Hammill says rail investment will start this summer to upgrade and expand port infrastructure awaiting operation by next shipping season. Officials outline Syracuse and Binghamton rail yards under Cuomo budget, moving toward a regional port authority with integrated rail, truck, and ship links in view of the 2016 Panama Canal opening. Revenue projections rise toward 5 million this year and over 5.5 million next year as the port touts competitive central New York access.

New York court upholds arrest despite officer error
New York's Court of Appeals ruled 6-1 that a traffic stop and drunken driving arrest in Newark, Wayne County, was constitutionally justified even though the officer misapplied the stop sign rule. The ruling centers on objective reasonableness of the officer's belief and rejects a bright line rule invalidating evidence due to such mistakes.

County grants free Call N Ride for seniors age 60 plus
The county accepts grant money with no local share to fund a senior transport program. Exelon previously provided 30,000, then cut to 6,000 in 2015 to cover 25 percent. Under the new grant seniors 60 and up ride free, with a suggested donation still allowed. The legislature also formalized inter county cooperation to share funds or services during crises and urged Cuomo to delay replacing STAR property tax exemption with a personal income tax credit, a measure excluded from the 2015-16 budget.
