‘Predator’ Gets 60 Years For Twice Raping 6-Year-Old Alton Girl
ALTON - A judge Wednesday sentenced sexual predator Keith L. Hare, 52, to 60 years in prison after a prosecutor argued Hare’s bad conduct began years ago and progressed to Nov. 16, 2019, when he contacted an Alton woman via the Internet and set up a “threesome.”
Assistant State’s Attorney Jake Harlow argued that a tape of the victim shortly after the crimes shows the damage Hare, a former police officer, had done. “You can clearly see she was shell-shocked. How can we expect a 6-year-old girl to recover after being sexually assaulted two times,” Harlow said in a sentencing hearing.

Republicans block bill to name post office after former progressive Rep. Woolsey
The House on Wednesday failed to pass a bill that would name a California post office after one of its own former members after most Republicans prevented it from advancing under a fast-track process.
The bill's failure is yet another example of the ever more partisan environment in the House, given that bills to name post offices typically pass handily, either by voice vote or nearly unanimously.

Florida Supreme Court rejects DeSantis' redistricting push
TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday shot down Gov. Ron DeSantis’s push to get the high court to rule on whether Rep. Al Lawson’s 200-mile congressional district linking Black neighborhoods must be kept intact during the state’s redistricting process.
The GOP governor wants to dismantle the north Florida seat held by Lawson, a Black Democrat, to make a redistricting map more friendly to Republicans. DeSantis asked the high court to give him an advisory opinion on whether the district was protected under Florida’s voter-approved standards.

Kathleen Rice’s retirement opens up another Long Island congressional seat
Long Island now has another open congressional seat after Rep. Kathleen Rice made a surprise announcement on Tuesday that she would not seek reelection, making her the third member of Congress from the island to give up their seat. That leaves just Rep. Andrew Garbarino (and technically Rep. Gregory Meeks) as the lone Long Island incumbent as lawmakers adjust to the new district lines.
Rice, who has represented the 4th Congressional District in Nassau County for seven years, had not given any indication that she would leave office, and privately more than one political observer told City & State they did not see the move coming. It now sets off a scramble to replace her in a year expected to be tough for Democrats, even with more favorable congressional lines in New York.

This would be a case of Cesaro’s contract expiring, so there would be no 90-day non compete. Cesaro had been slated to be at tomorrow’s Smackdown taping in Hershey, PA, but will obviously no longer be there as his deal expired earlier this week.”
