Update On The Sunday Morning Stabbings In Howard

Our news department caught up with Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker this morning, about the stabbing on Route 56 In Howard, in the midnight hour, Sunday morning.  "What we know right now," Baker told WVIN this morning, "is that three people were injured in that bad situation in Howard, early Sunday morning.  There are a lot of witnesses to be interviewed, it is a difficult investigation.  The biggest issue slowing things down right now, is that the three people who were involved in the stabbing situtation, were all injured at different levels, and had to be treated at area hospitals.  We have to interview them before we can go forward with the case.  Obviously they cannot speak to law enforcement until they are healthy enough to do so, and we're hopeful this will happen soon.   Additionally, we're also seeking evidence regarding medical records, about the injuries.  Obviously, the investigation is ongoing, and State Police are dedicating tremendous resources to this case, and I'm sure we'll have answers very soon," Baker said.

NYS Dems Want To Undo Steuben Co Judge's Map Ruling

In April of 2022, Steuben County Judge Pat McAllister ruled that new congressional maps should be drawn.  There’s a Democrat lawsuit that was heard on November 15 by the New York State Court of Aappeals, a lawsuit that calls for the Court to throw out the current congressional district maps (the maps that McAllister ordered).  A decision by the Court of Appeals is expected sometime soon.  Corning Republican Assemblyman says while he’s opposed to the Democrats lawsuit, he says in all likelihood, our Congressman, Nick Langworthy’s seat on the map, won’t be affected.  "I would think the congressional lines in the 23rd congressional district will look pretty much the same as it is, for the most part that district will be in tact," Palmesano said this morning.
