South Shore Press Video Vault: Attorney Joe Burns, Local Election Ruling


There's an important update to tell you about concerning the court case of whether or not local elections in NYS are moving to even-numbered years.

Democrats want this because they believe higher turnout in even-numbered years (like Presidential and Gubernatorial years) will wipe out the GOP locally in New York State. 

There's no change in the decision that keeps elections "as is." Local elections remain on the current calendar. For now.

New York State wanted their appeal to "skip the line" and be heard right away by the Court of Appeals.  That was denied this week.

Power lawyer Joe Burns from power firm Holtzman Vogel breaks it down for us in our South Shore Press Video Vault.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
