A summons charging New York’s former governor with misdemeanor forcible touching was prematurely issued by Albany City Court on Thursday after a sheriff’s investigator filed paperwork with the court summarizing their investigation. That’s according to the Albany Times Union. The filing paves the way for a criminal complaint. The summons has reportedly not yet been served on former governor Andrew Cuomo, but he’s scheduled to appear in Albany City Court November 17th.
New Phone Dialing Rules Now in Effect in 845, Other Area Codes
As of this past Sunday, everyone in 82 area codes in 36 different states now needs to dial the area code and phone number, even if you’re calling within the same area code. Here in New York, that includes 845, 914, 516, 607 and 716. The transition to 10-digit dialing is mandated by the FCC to make room for the “988” National Suicide Prevention Lifeline starting next July. Rockland County Executive Ed Day says here in 845, we don’t have to add an additional number “one” at the beginning of a call…
You may have already noticed local calls dialed with only seven digits may not be completed, and you get that recording telling you the call cannot be completed as dialed. Verizon urges customers to make sure all services that use a phone number, such as security and medical alert systems, must all be changed to work properly.
