Businesses that ask a job applicant about his or her criminal history during the hiring process could be fined and forced to pay the applicant up to $500 under a new law being considered by Los Angeles. A Los Angeles City Council committee backed a plan Tuesday to penalize businesses that weed out applicants based on criminal convictions. The rules are part of a law under consideration by the council aimed at giving former convicts a better shot at obtaining employment. The Ban the Box ordinance, approved in concept last year by the council, bans private employers with 10 or more workers from asking questions related to an applicant's criminal history before a conditional offer of employment has been made. Employers also have to strip criminal history questions from job applications under the proposed law. Exemptions for employers in the child care or law enforcement industry are allowed under the ordinance. Some Los Angeles business groups, including the Valley Industry and Co...

New York State Freedom of Information Law says it should take 20 business days to get public records. In Spring Valley, we're at 31 business days and counting. That's how long village resident Anna Carafas has been waiting for information about a planned residential development a half mile from her home. Carafas, 28, sought some answers when she  filed a Freedom of Information request  with help from The Journal News/lohud on April 5 — one of three Lower Hudson Valley citizens teaming up with the newspaper to test FOIL compliance in our area. Carafas asked Spring Valley for tax and assessment information, and any correspondence relating to the target property on the corner of Union Road and Viola Road. It was a simple enough request, and the type of citizen inquiry that the law was intended to facilitate.....

Susan Filgueras is not too pleased with the response she received from the state Department of Transportation a few weeks ago. In April, the Tomkins Cove resident  filed a Freedom of Information Law request with the state asking about fires,  derailments, leaks, spills and other mishaps caused by CSX trains travelling through several Rockland County towns near her home. All she got back, in a May 3 response from the DOT, was a report on a minor derailment in 2011. “A diligent search of our files failed to reveal any other responsive records,” came the response from the state. But Filgueras says she knows that there have been fires along the CSX tracks because she helped put one out in her father’s backyard.  And, she has in her files a May 2015 report from The Journal News/lohud about a brush fire in Haverstraw apparently caused by sparks from a passing train.  ......
