Engineer warned of problems with Champlain Towers!

  Three years before  the deadly collapse  of the Champlain Towers South condominium complex near Miami, a consultant found alarming evidence of “major structural damage” to the concrete slab below the pool deck and “abundant” cracking and crumbling of the columns, beams and walls of the parking garage under the 13-story building. The engineer’s report helped shape plans for a multimillion-dollar repair project that was set to get underway soon — more than two and a half years after the building managers were warned — but the building  suffered a catastrophic collapse  in the middle of the night on Thursday, crushing sleeping residents in a massive heap of debris.

Andrew Cuomo under siege! NY Senate Majority leader calls for resignation!

State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins is now calling for the resignation of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo -- a sign of escalating pressure from members of his own party to step aside amid allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct. The Democratic governor said Sunday he has no plans to step down. "New York is still in the midst of this pandemic and is still facing the societal, health and economic impacts of it.
