TO***CO - New York State.
"This is funding that could be used for cessation programs or enforcement efforts but instead supports an economy where there are no rules and certainly no age requirements," wrote Kent Sopris, the group's president. "Not a week goes by where my taxpaying, law-abiding members do not report illegal retail activity in their towns and cities."

Lawmakers oppose menthol, flavored to***co ban.

EASTERN DOOR NEWSPAPER - Kahnawa’kehró:non presence in Tiohtià:ke.
"The archaeologist had tried to assert that the St. Lawrence Iroquois were distinct and separate from the Mohawk people – something that Montour hopes this project could help disprove."

The field of archaeology has been weaponized against Indigenous people for years, with universities and profit-focused corporations embroiled in discourse surrounding best practices for excavations and construction on sites that could contain unmarked graves or precious artifacts.

ST. LAWRENCE RIVER - Department of Homeland Security.
"One of the few remaining undeveloped spots on the St. Lawrence River is Blind Bay, which is now being considered as the new home of U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Jefferson County. It’s a potential move that has been met by backlash from local environmental agencies — who say it is important to keep that land natural."

Undeveloped shoreline on the St. Lawrence is hard to find.
