Two tragic incidents involving young people in the state’s Capital Region have rocked the community over the past year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Youth Violence in Albany on July 4 and a mother and grandmother were accused of killing four children and themselves over the summer.<\/p>\n
The two cases have raised questions about absenteeism in New York\u2019s schools and fueled an ongoing effort to address the problem in Albany and beyond.<\/p>\n
Also, the Trump administration is moving to cancel $810 million that Congress already approved for health, education and other programs.<\/p>\n
More than $567 million of that is tied to refugee and entrant assistance.<\/p>\n
The White House says that money is no longer needed. But now, Congress\u2019s nonpartisan watchdog says the way the administration is trying to cancel it violates federal budget law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two tragic incidents involving young people in the state’s Capital Region have rocked the community over the past…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[22136,19662,19663,9,11,10,49,51,50,200],"class_list":["post-361362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-capital-tonight-show","tag-capital-tonight-staff","tag-ctv-capital-tonight-full-episode","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
