The announcement came from Albany on Wednesday from Democratic Assemblyman Charles Lavine of Nassau County, who chairs the Judiciary Committee. Western Ramapo and Orange County Assemblyman Karl Brabenec, a Republican, says there are lots of potential witnesses and that’s why the process has been taking so long…
