Petitioning the Legislature, the Common Council, Protesting Animal Testing in Kingston, Demand Justice, and The Good Citizen

In this week's show:

• At least six women have launched a petition calling upon the Ulster County Legislature to censure and request the resignation of New Paltz Legislator Hector Rodriguez, who was found, by an independent investigation, to have violated the County’s sexual harassment policy in dealings with his constituents.  View the Legislative calendar here.
• The Common Council met on Tuesday, and we’ll have some updates on lowering the speed limit in the City of Kingston, a measure put forward by Majority Leader Rennie Scott-Childress, and grant money for the intersection at Broadway where a new park is going in at the old post office/Planet Wings site.
• New York Farm Animal Save has been protesting outside Charles River Laboratory in Kingston for two years now.  We attend a protest to find out why.  Learn more about the Charles River Lab animals in science program here.  See the NY Farm Animal Save petition to Charles River Lab here.
