New York's governor has ordered flags on all state buildings to be flown at half-staff to honor the late Congresswoman Louise Slaughter on Friday, the day of her funeral. Andrew Cuomo (KWOH'-moh) calls the fellow Democrat from the Rochester area a "trailblazer" who fought tirelessly for her home district. The Kentucky native served 31 years in the House and was the first woman to chair the House Rules Committee. Calling hours will be held on Wednesday and Thursday at a Rochester funeral home. Her funeral is set for Friday at the Eastman Theatre.
