NATION Wednesday, September 13, 2017 Seattle’s mayor resigns after 5th sex abuse claim emerges SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced his resignation Tuesday after a fifth man — one of his cousins — came forward and accused him of sexual abuse decades ago. Murray, who had already announced that he would not seek a second term even as he denied the claims, said he would step down effective 5 p.m. Wednesday The Democrat said it had “become clear to me that in light of the latest news reports it is best for the city if I step aside.” Murray made the announcement after the Seattle Times reported on the allegations by the mayor’s first cousin once removed, Joseph Dyer. “To the people of this special city and to my dedicated staff, I am sorry for this painful situation,” Murray said. Four men had previously accused Murray of sexually abusing them. Dyer told the newspaper he was 13 and that Murray was in his early 20s when Murray came to live with Dyer’s family in Medford, New York, in 1975. The two shared a bedroom, and Murray repeatedly molested him over the course of a year, Dyer said. East Oregonian FEMA estimates 25 percent of Florida Keys homes are gone LOWER MATECUMBE KEY, Fla. (AP) — Search-and-rescue teams made their way into the Florida Keys’ farthest reaches Tuesday, while authorities rushed to repair the lone highway connecting the islands and deliver aid to Hurricane Irma’s victims. Federal officials estimated one-quarter of all homes in the Keys were destroyed. Two days after Irma roared into the island chain with 130 mph winds, residents were allowed to return to the parts of the Keys closest to Florida’s mainland. But the full extent of the death and destruction there remained a question mark because cellphone service was disrupted and some places were inaccessible. “It’s going to be pretty hard for those coming home,” said Petrona Hernandez, whose concrete home with 35-foot walls was unscathed, unlike others nearby “It’s going to be devastating to them.” Elsewhere in Florida, life inched closer to normal, with some flights again taking off, many curfews lifted and major theme parks reopening. Cruise ships that extended their voyages and rode out the storm at sea began Page 7A returning to port. The number of people without electricity in the steamy late- summer heat dropped to around 10 million — half of Florida’s population. Utility officials warned it could take 10 days or more for power to be fully restored. About 110,000 people remained in shelters across Florida. The number of deaths blamed on Irma in Florida climbed to 12, in addition to four in South Carolina and two in Georgia. At least 37 people were killed in the Caribbean. In hard-hit Naples, Florida, more than 300 people stood outside a grocery store waiting for it to open.
