Noteworthy events by ballotpedia.org, a nonpartisan online political encyclopedia Mayer removed from Independence Party line Mayer was removed from the Independence Party line by Justice Henry Zwack on March 20 after he found that she had received the party's nomination in February without there being a quorum present. Ethics complaint against Mayer Republicans filed a complaint with the Joint Commission on Public Ethics alleging that Mayer misused government property. The complaint concerned a Facebook video that showed Mayer inside her Assembly office commending students who participated in walkouts from schools to protest gun violence. She used the phrase “when elected to the Senate,” which the complaint said showed that the video was intended to be campaign material. Mayer's handling of sexual misconduct claims In April 2018, state Senate staffers Julia Lilkendey and Shana Wittenwyler accused Mayer of not acting to help them after they told her that they were being sexually harassed in 2011. Mayer was serving as chief counsel for the Senate Democrats at the time they made their complaints.[24] Mayer said that she followed proper protocol after receiving the complaints and that Secretary of the Senate Angelo Aponte did not take action on them.[3] After the allegations were reported by the New York Daily News, Killian called for Mayer to resign from the state Assembly.[3] She made this announcement in front of Mayer's campaign headquarters and, according to Lohud, fighting, physical and verbal, broke out among Mayer and Killian supporters.[25] "Neutrality is a key consideration.

![]() Westchester County residents can bring their dogs, cats and ferrets in for free rabies vaccinations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 22 at the Stamen Animal Hospital, 61 Quaker Ridge Rd. in New Rochelle. Call 914-632-1269 to schedule a required appointment. Cats and ferrets must be in carriers and dogs must be on a leash. Aggressive dogs must be muzzled. No examinations will be given and all pets must be supervised by an adult. "Vaccinating your pet against rabies will protect your pet and your family in case your pet has contact with a rabid or potentially rabid animal," said Westchester County Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler, MD. Under New York State law, dogs and cats must receive their first rabies vaccine no later than four months after birth. A second rabies shot must be given within one year of the first vaccine, with additional booster shots given every one or three years after that, depending on the vaccine used. Owners who fail to get their pets vaccinated and keep the vaccinations up-to-date may be fined up to $2,000, according to county officials. Rabies is a fatal disease that is spread through the bite or saliva of infected animals, medical experts said. Those animals most commonly infected are raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. However, domestic animals such as cats and dogs are also at risk because they can easily contract rabies from wild or stray animals. Hello All,
