The leader of an MS-13 gang clique in New York City's suburbs has been sentenced to 68 years in prison in a federal case involving eight Long Island murders, including the 2016 killings of two high school girls.

States and localities are increasingly tapping federal funds to help finance efforts to build more affordable housing, repair dilapidated units or reduce their homeless numbers.

Now a former officer of Local 385's previous leadership is suing the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, claiming the takeover has lasted too long. AdThe 9,000 members of Local 385 have key roles in Central Florida’s tourism and transportation industries. But the International Brotherhood of Teamsters can “trustee" locals in order to clean house of corrupt or incompetent leaders. Union members also said Local 385 leaders had been unresponsive to grievances by members seeking help against the companies they worked for. “No reason exists why members themselves cannot take charge of their own local union and elect new officers,” the lawsuit said.
