Signed by Governor Cuomo earlier this year, the Child Victims Act (CVA) effectively repeals the statute of limitations on child sex abuse lawsuits for a period of one year. “New York has had one of the most restrictive statutes for crimes of child sexual abuse,” New York state Senator Brad Hoylman tells Newsweek. “If you don’t file [criminal charges] by the time you’re 23 you basically have no recourse.

The city’s Department of Finance assesses the market value of properties for tax bills but its valuations can be appealed to the City Tax Commission....

Victor Brombert grew up in a wealthy Jewish family that fled Russia to seek refuge in Germany, only to have to pack up again to settle in France in the 1930s.
