Learning of a fire truck in a parade displayed a Confederate flag, New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo said "I'm appalled by reports that a Confederate flag was flown on a Brookhaven Fire Department truck at a Patchogue parade. We have zero tolerance for symbols of racism or division, and I have directed the New York State Division of Human Rights to investigate the incident immediately."
On August 31, 2020, a newspaper, Newsday, published an article concerning the incident. The article is posted on the Internet at:
The New Civil Liberties Alliance [NCLA], a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil rights group, announced that the Arizona Supreme Court "adopted verbatim" an NCLA-drafted amendment to the court's Judicial Review of Administrative Decisions Rules making it easier for litigants to obtain Superior Court stays of administrative decisions.The new rule goes into effect starting January 1, 2021 and affects all appeals from the final decisions of all Arizona state agencies that are required to go to the Arizona Superior Court.The text of the amendment is posted on the Internet at https://nclalegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Order-R200008.pdf.For information about NCLA click on https://nclalegal.org/about/.
