Fraud charges against Powell dropped by Justice Dept
The Justice Department dropped the case raised by the House of Representatives that sought to bar Adam Clayton Powell from Congress. It said available evidence did not warrant prosecution and noted the grand jury investigating the matter expired without an indictment. The department may pursue civil liability. Powell, expelled in 1967 and later reelected, faced ongoing legal battles.

Worley sewer repairs prompt action by town board
In Washingtonville the Blooming Grove Town Board faced repeated Worley Heights sewer back ups. Lake Region Homeowners Association president Donald Schultz demanded immediate action including an emergency plan, proper repair equipment, and an audit of the town sewer district books. About 600 homeowners pay roughly $40 yearly for maintenance as the board notes a snake and pump are on hand but more is needed, with rate increases possible to fund improvements.
