Federal lawsuit accuses Owego McDonald’s of safety failures, retaliation
Former employees of a McDonald's franchise in the Village of Owego have filed a federal class action lawsuit alleging safety failures, retaliation and other violations. A lawsuit filed on Nov. 9 alleges that the franchisee company that owns the McDonald’s at 29 Hickories Park Road in Owego kept employees working through carbon dioxide leaks and fire-safety failures, failed to pay overtime and wages for all hours worked, retaliated against employees who raised safety and wage concerns and refused to accommodate a manager’s disabilities, allegedly forcing her out of her job. The initial complaint names Mac-Clark Restaurants, Inc., a McDonald's franchisee company that owns more than a dozen McDonald's restaurants across New York including the Owego location that employed the three former employees who are suing.

Historic Sagan property in Ithaca to become new observatory
An historic Ithaca property once home to the late world-renowned astronomer Carl Sagan is preparing for a new chapter in scientific exploration following an investment to develop a new research observatory on the site. Adam Weitsman said he is funding the development of a new research observatory at 900 Stewart Ave., partnering with Harvard University astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb , director of the Galileo Project , to honor Sagan’s legacy. The observatory will also create new opportunities for scientific discovery and public engagement, according to a statement Tuesday, Nov. 10, announcing the observatory. “When I purchased this property, I wanted to do something meaningful that would honor Carl Sagan and his incredible legacy," Weitsman said in the statement. "He inspired generations to look at the universe with curiosity and wonder. Partnering with Dr. Loeb gives us an opportunity to continue that spirit of exploration, bring groundbreaking research to Ithaca, and create something that can inspire future generations."
