Sheriffs skeptical over legal pot

Charter fined $174M in record-setting internet speed settlement

By Pete DeMola EDITOR

PLATTSBURGH | Gov. Andrew Cuomo is backing the legalization of recreational marijuana next year. Cuomo on Monday outlined his proposal as part of an ambitious criminal justice reform agenda as the state legislature prepares to convenes for the first time under Democratic leadership in nearly a decade. The governor said he would work with lawmakers to legalize pot within the fi rst few months of 2019. “Let’s legalize the adult use of recreational marijuana once and for all,” Cuomo said.

ALBANY | Charter Spectrum will pay $174 million and refund customers $62 million in a settlement over claims it engaged in a “systematic scheme” to defraud and mislead internet subscribers by promising to deliver service that it knew it could not deliver. The settlement announced Tuesday by the state Attorney General’s Office is believed to represent the largest-ever payout to consumers by an internet service provider in U.S. history. Attorney General Barbara Underwood said the settlement should serve as a “wakeup call” to any company serving New York consumers and sets a new standard for how internet providers should fairly market their services. “Fulfill your promises or pay the price,” said Underwood in a statement.

SHERIFFS SOUND OFF

Local law enforcement offi cials harbor reservations. “If it’s a law, we’re tasked with enforcing the law,” said Essex County Sheriff-elect David Reynolds. “But if it becomes legal, it poses a number of problems as far as law enforcement is concerned.” Reynolds, who will take office next month, said he was concerned about testing during traffic stops. » Marijuana Cont. on pg. 5

The state Attorney General’s office filed a complaint in New York State Supreme Court last year alleging that Charter, originally known as Time Warner Cable, had failed to deliver on internet speeds and the reliability it had promised subscribers.
