The borough’s licensing committee had already decided to suspend the bar’s licence indefinitely when it met on January 26, but a decision was also reached to suspend the venue’s licence for a full three months from that date, meaning it cannot open again until April 26.

Many presidents have bashed business, but Trump’s Amazon offensive is personal
close Video Kurtz: Trump vs. Bezos is really about Washington Post 'MediaBuzz' host Howard Kurtz weighs in on Trump's escalating criticism of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Donald Trump isn't the first president to take on a business or industry he doesn't like.

New GOP candidate Molinaro gets personal against Cuomo
Marcus J. Molinaro knows all too well that his GOP has failed to elect a statewide candidate since back in 2002, that Democrats far outnumber Republicans in New York, and that “the path ahead is not simple or easy.” But just two days into his brand-new candidacy for governor against a powerful incumbent, the Dutchess County executive made it clear Wednesday in Buffalo that he intends to mount a personal campaign against Democrat Andrew M. Cuomo. Launching his local effort before a small group of supporters at Republican headquarters on Main Street, Molinaro at various times labeled the incumbent “corrupt,” “corrosive,” “loud,” “argumentative,” and committed to “putting the personal politics of ambition and greed above the people.” And he promised he is just getting started. “Today, our governor believes he is the government,” Molinaro said. “I’m sorry, he’s wrong.
