Working Families Party endorses Congressman Murphy
The Working Families Party endorsed Democrat Scott Murphy this week ahead of this fall’s election.
Murphy currently represents New York’s 20th Congressional District and will face off with Republican Chris Gibson this November.
Murphy won the seat last year in a special election to replace Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, who was appointed to New York’s junior senator seat after President Barack Obama selected Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state.

Man sentenced for involvement with Oak Street brawl
A local man arrested last year for his involvement in a brawl on Oak Street in the village of Tupper Lake was sentenced to probation last week in Franklin County Court.
Tupper Lake Village Police arrested 24-year-old Richard A. Jangro last October following a fight that Chief Tom Fee dubbed the “Melee on Oak.”
Numerous local residents were arrested following the incident – the fight also sparked a manhunt for a rape suspect. The fight began the evening of October 3 and continued into the early morning hours of October 4. One person who was not involved in the brawl was injured.
Jangro was originally charged with second-degree felony attempted assault, third-degree misdemeanor assault, and endangering the welfare of a child – in March, he pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted assault and endangering the welfare of child.
Last week, Franklin County Court Judge Penelope Clute sentenced Jangro to five years of probation and one-year conditional discharge.

Tupper Lake man gets four years in prison for rape
A 32-year-old Tupper Lake man was sentenced to four years in state prison last week for the rape of a teenage girl.
Travis K. Borden was taken into custody in May 2009 following accusations he raped his live-in girlfriend’s 15-year-old daughter. He was originally charged with third-degree criminal sexual act, third-degree rape, endangering the welfare of a child, and unlawfully dealing with a child.
Tupper Lake Village Police arrested Borden following a complaint from a family member of the victim.
In April, Borden pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of third-degree criminal sexual act. Last week, Franklin County Court Judge Penelope Clute sentenced him to four years in state prison with 10 years of post-release supervision.
