ON THIS DATE: In 1781, the Continental Congress declared the Arti- cles of Confederation to be inforce,following ratification by Mar yland.

(These fourdefendants were convicted in January 1975, although Mar- d i a n’s conviction was later re- versed.) In 2005, Dennis Rader, the churchgoing family man ac- cused of leading a double life as the BTK serial killer, was charged in Wichita, Kansas, with 10 counts of first-degree murder. (Rader later pleaded guilty and received multiple life sentences.) A closely di- vided Supreme Court out- lawed the death penalty for ju- venile criminals. In 2010, Jay Leno returned as host of NBC’s “The Tonight S h o w. ” In 2015, tens of thousands marched through Moscow in honor of slain Russian opposi- tion leader Boris Nemtsov, who had been shot to death on Feb. 27.

The home-rule petition will come be- fore the City Council at its Tuesday meet- ing, which will start at 7 p.m. and be held over Zoom. Should the city pass the home-rule petition, it would have to be ap- proved by the Legislature to become law. Under the current law, the Holyoke City Council president becomes mayor in the case of a vacancy, and Sullivan’s home-rule petition would not change that. Todd McGee is the current president. Sullivan said that he is coming to a de-cision on whether or not he runs formayor in the next few days, but that thishas no bearing on his decision to bringforward the home-rule petition.“The city’s hurting for money,” he said. So far City Councilor Rebecca Lisi and School Committee member Devin Shee- han have announced their candidacies for mayor, with the general election formayor set for November of this year.Bera Dunau can be reached atbdunau@gazettenet.com. Ho lyo ke FROM A1 Jones, would have reviewed his work- place behavior. In the second proposal, announced Sunday morning in an at- tempt to appease legislative leaders, Cuomo asked James and the state’s chief appeals court judge, Janet Di- Fiore, to jointly appoint a lawyer to in- vestigate the claims and issue a public report. James said neither plan went far enough. “I do not accept the governor’s pro- posal,” she said, demanding a formal re- ferral that would give her office more authority to subpoena documents and witness testimony. Many of the biggest names in New York politics lined up quickly behind James. The state legislature’s two top lead- ers, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, both said they wanted her to handle the investigation. Republican leaders had, for days, called on James to launch a probe. New York’s two U.S. senators, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gilli- brand, both said an independent investi- gation was essential. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, “There should be an inde- pendent review looking into these alle- gations.” She said that’s something President Joe Biden supports “and we believe should move forward as quickly as possible.” The calls for an investigation into Cuomo’s workplace behavior intensified after a second former employee of his administration went public Saturday with claims she had been harassed. Charlotte Bennett, a low-level aide in the governor’s administration until November, told The New York Times Cuomo asked inappropriate questions about her sex life, including whether she ever had sex with older men, and made other comments she interpreted as gauging her interest in an affair. Her accusation came days after an- other former aide, Lindsey Boylan, a former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to the governor, elaborated on harassment al- legations she first made in December. Boylan said Cuomo subjected her to an unwanted kiss and inappropriate com- ments about her appearance.
