FILE - This undated inmate file photo provided by the Rhode Island Department of Corrections shows Jason Pleau, charged in the fatal shooting of a man outside a bank in Woonsocket, R.I., in September 2010. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, Jan. 14, 2013, refused to hear an appeal from Pleau and the state, and won't stop the federal government from claiming Pleau, who will face the possibility of the death penalty if convicted of murder. Pleau initially had been in state custody. After federal prosecutors charged him, Gov. Lincoln Chafee refused to turn over Pleau, citing the state's rejection of the death penalty.

FILE - In a Oct. 31, 2012, file photo a New York Air National Guard helicopter flies above the Breezy Point neighborhood, Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012 in New York where more than 100 homes, lower right, were burned to the ground during superstorm Sandy. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY, and local officials took the flight over the city, Nassau and Westchester counties to get an assessment of damages from the storm. Superstorm Sandy may have one more nasty surprise still to come: higher taxes. Unless shore towns from Rhode Island to New Jersey get a big influx of aid from the state and federal governments, which are themselves strapped for cash, they will have no choice but to raise taxes on homes and businesses that survived to make up for the loss.
