New budget extender signed as negotiations continue

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- The New State Budget was originally due April 1st. A new budget extender has been passed and signed by Governor Hochul. This had to be done by Noon on Monday in order for state workers to continue to get paid. The Comptroller’s office said it assumes there will not be a delay in payroll at this point. The new budget extender does not have policy in it, something the governor told me Capitol Correspondent Jamie DeLine on Saturday would be the case.When asked if she knew a time timeframe in which the budget would be finalized, Hochul said. "We’re looking at another extender to give us some more time because even when a decision is made, we’ve all come together— it will take a number of days after that because it takes five hours to debate each of the bills, there might be seven bills. There is still a timeframe even when there is an agreement. So it’s going to take a little while, but I feel confident that we are making progress, so that is a good thing.The gov...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:49:38 GMT

A former Colorado Springs public defender will be suspended from practicing law for 90 days after he sent a sexually explicit video of a woman with whom he’d had an affair to her husband when the affair ended, according to state disciplinary records.Attorney Christopher Melichar, 41, began the six-month affair with the married woman in August 2020, while he was working as a public defender, according to the disciplinary records. During the affair, the woman sent Melichar nude photos of herself, and he also filmed her during sexual encounters, though she later told Melichar she did not consent to the recordings because she was too intoxicated to do so.After the affair ended, Melichar threatened to send the sexually explicit photos and videos to the woman’s husband, according to the records. At one point he texted her that she “needs to earn everything. I have videos,” according to the records. When the woman refused to continue the sexual relationship, Melicha...

Talk about opposing tugs at the heartstrings.No doubt, it’s been an eventful month for Feely, the son of former NFL kicker Jay Feely and a transfer from Arizona State who is trying to stake his claim to the starting job this spring for the Buffaloes.Feely said he endured cardio ablation surgery, which treats heart rhythm problems but said he’s a “full go” as the Buffs continue spring practice this week.“I know I had (the heart issue), something similar to it back at ASU and I only thought I was taking too much caffeine or something like that,” Feely said. “Then I got up here and it...

Kiszla vs. Durando: Are the Avalanche ready to make another Stanley Cup run?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:49:38 GMT

Kiz: Well, after Nathan MacKinnon and the Avs barnstormed through California, they not only control their destiny, but have every reason to believe that winning the Central Division is within their grasp. A month ago, I would’ve said it was iffy to project this edition of the Avalanche to win even a single round in the NHL playoffs. But now? The outlook is much sunnier. What’s a realistic definition of success for Colorado, with the postseason now just around the corner?Durando: The team with the best record in the West since mid-January should define success as winning the West. The Avs clearly have the firepower to do it again, especially in a conference widely considered to be the weaker of the two. I’ll say this, though: For as much flak as the West has taken since the trade deadline, there are several teams that decided to heat up at the right time. I’m both more impressed by the Avalanche’s direction than I was a month ago and more convinced that ...
