A bill introduced by State Sen. Jeremy Cooney aims to make Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library an official statewide program, complete with its own state fund. The bill would create “Dolly Parton’s statewide library system of New York” as well as an “Imagination Library of New York” fund. The program would be managed by New York’s state librarian and would split costs between the state and the Dollywood Foundation, which oversees the Imagination Library program.

Drones soon could be deployed to assist Rochester police officers in real-time police work — from responding to reports of gunfire to tracking a fleeing suspect.

RPD has thus far utilized drones in a limited capacity to fly over and monitor mass gatherings, including festivals, protests and sporting events.

One of the three men arrested in the March 24 traffic stop in Rochester that generated national attention has been charged with a felony reentry charge. Wilson Oswaldo Galvan-Lopez, originally of Guatemala, was charged with a violation of US Code 1326 for allegedly reentering the country illegally after being previously deported. Illegal entry is typically a misdemeanor, unless the person has already been deported, in which case it becomes a felony offense.
