Cynthia Nixon: Outraged over slow response to village's contaminated water

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon says New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration "ignored" an upstate village's problems with its contaminated water supply. The village's municipal water supply and private wells were contaminated by a toxic chemical known as PFOA. The contamination was uncovered in 2014, but a cleanup effort by the state wasn't started until early 2016. Nixon called the delay "egregious" and "shocking."

Mick Rich: Wants commercial use of natural resources on federal lands

Announcing his federal campaign filing Tuesday, Rich emphasized his support for the commercial development of natural resources on federal lands as a way to boost New Mexico's economy. He criticized Heinrich's vote against the confirmation of Energy Secretary Rick Perry as a liability for New Mexico in efforts to ensure funding for national nuclear weapons laboratories overseen by the U.S. Department of Energy, and vowed to be a better broker for New Mexico interests with the federal government.
