New York lawmakers on Friday took the first step toward codifying reproductive rights into the state’s constitution in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s abortion ruling.
The legislature passed a measure (S. 51002) to expand the list of classes protected by the state’s constitution. If the proposal survives its next steps, voters as soon as next year would get a say on barring discrimination based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, creed, religion, or sex, including pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, reproductive health care and autonomy, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

A federal judge has sentenced Jerry Harris, a former star of the Netflix documentary series “Cheer,” to 12 years in prison for coercing teenage boys to send him obscene photos and videos of themselves and soliciting sex from minors at cheerleading competitions. U.S. District Judge Manish Shah also ordered Wednesday that the sentence be followed by eight years of court-supervised release. Shah told the 22-year-old Naperville man to consider the sentence an “expression of the seriousness of your crimes, tempered with some hope that all is not lost for you or for your victims.” Harris pleaded guilty earlier this year.

Virgin Galactic is partnering with a Boeing subsidiary to manufacture its next generation of motherships. Aurora Flight Sciences will build the twin-fuselage aircraft that are used to carry aloft Virgin Galactic's rocket ship. The contract calls for Aurora to deliver two planes, with the first expected to enter service in 2025. Virgin Galactic officials said Wednesday that outsourcing the work will provide access to labor, minimize supply chain disruptions and lead to faster production times. The space tourism company has repeatedly pushed back the timeline for launching paying customers from Spaceport America in southern New Mexico, with commercial service now expected in 2023.
A former East Texas chief deputy has pleaded guilty to violating a prisoner's civil rights by using excessive force on him. Steven Craig Shelton was the second-ranked official in the Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office when the Sept. 21 incident happened at the county jail. During a Wednesday plea hearing before a federal magistrate in Tyler, Shelton admitted that he struck a handcuffed and compliant suspect twice with his forearm. He said his action was born of frustration and was unjustified. Sheriff Steve Hendrix resigned in April after indictments accused him and two deputies of lying about Shelton's actions.

United has lost star defender Miles Robinson and goalkeeper Brad Guzan to season-ending Achilles injuries. Robinson is unlikely to be able to return in time to play for the U.S. squad at the World Cup. Midfielder Osvaldo Alonso also has been lost for the season with a knee injury.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says his main campaign committee raised $3.8 million in the two months ended June 30. However, heavy spending leading up to the Republican’s blowout primary win means Kemp’s total amount of cash on hand continues to fall. Kemp spokesman Cody Hall says the incumbent’s main campaign committee had $6.4 million in cash on June 30. Democrat Stacey Abrams has yet to report numbers. Abrams has raised more than $20 million for her main campaign committee since announcing in December that she would run. Kemp has raised more than $23 million over a longer period, topping the $22.4 million he raised in 2018.

More than 900,000 Minnesota residents have applied for bonus pay the state is doling out to people who came to work during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Gov. Tim Walz says that while not everyone will meet eligibility requirements for hero pay, he anticipates the final pool could be larger than the estimated total of 667,000 people. That figure would provide about $750 for each applicant. The Frontline Worker Pay bill covers people employed at least 120 hours in one frontline sector or more outside their households between March 15, 2020 and June 30, 2021. There's two weeks left to apply for the money.

There is legitimate uncertainty about who the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft will be for the first time in almost a decade. The Montreal Canadiens have been considering Canadian center Shane Wright, Slovak winger Juraj Slafkovsky and American center Logan Cooley. There's also buzz about the Canadiens trying to make a trade for an additional top-five pick in the first draft they've hosted in Montreal since 2009. The New Jersey Devils have shopped the second pick in an effort to get more immediate help. The Arizona Coyotes pick fourth and the Seattle Kraken fifth.
Baker Mayfield’s rocky run with the Cleveland Browns has officially ended. The Browns have traded the divisive quarterback and former No. 1 overall draft pick to the Carolina Panthers for a future draft pick. Mayfield was pushed out of his starting job by the Browns’ pursuit of Deshaun Watson and is going to Carolina for a conditional draft pick in 2024 or 2025. The Browns are also paying $10 million of Mayfield’s $18.8 million contract for next season, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The trade was announced by the Panthers, who will host the Browns in next season’s opener.
A grandson and nephew of Chicago’s two longest-serving mayors has been sentenced to four months in prison after being convicted of tax crimes and making false statements. Patrick Daley Thompson was accused of falsely claiming mortgage interest deductions and lying about lines of credit from the now-closed Washington Federal Bank for Savings. U.S. District Judge Franklin Valderrama imposed the sentence Wednesday. The 52-year-old Thompson was convicted in February on five counts of willfully filing a false income tax return and two counts of knowingly making a false statement to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Thompson’s grandfather, Richard J. Daley, and his uncle, Richard M. Daley, each served more than 20 years as mayor.
