I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“Don’t expect Hochul’s ethics panel to be better than the old one” Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed to “blow up” the state’s dysfunctional ethics panel, but the “reforms” announced in her budget deal with legislative leaders fall far short. The Joint Commission on Public Ethics, JCOPE, was mocked as JJOKE for one central reason: The very…
“Albany returns to the bad, old stinky ways of passing a budget” For 20 straight years, the New York state budget was late — stretching well past the April 1 deadline, sometimes even into summer or fall. That streak was broken in 2011. It was then that lawmakers in Albany assured New Yorkers that the…
“NY liquor stores can remain open on Christmas thanks to Hochul, Albany budget deal” Well here’s a bit of early holiday cheer. Tucked in the state’s bloated $220 billion budget deal reached by Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany’s legislative leaders is a provision that will allow liquor stores to open on Christmas. While many New…
“Judge blasts NY Democrats for Hochul-mander mess” A state appellate judge ripped New York’s legislature Thursday for creating a redistricting panel that lawmakers knew was “flawed from the outset” — resulting in a messy, partisan “stalemate” over disputed congressional district maps that have ended up in court. The 10-member “independent redistricting commission” formed in 2014 to…
“Hochul is to blame if the bail-reform fix is a weak fudge” Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed fixes to the state’s disastrous criminal-justice laws were far from enough to assure an end to New York’s crime wave. Yet lawmakers this week have been working to weaken them further still. We’ll be blunt: If the “fixes” included…
“Bills duo getting $850M for Buffalo stadium live in Fla.” Gov. Kathy Hochul has agreed to shell out $600 million of New York taxpayer dollars to the owners of the Buffalo Bills for a new football stadium — in addition to $250 million coming from their upstate county. But the team’s owners are a pair…
“Adams, Hochul must amend bail reform laws like they promised” New York’s top two elected executives say they want safer streets in the Empire State. This is the week for them to prove it. The state’s new budget comes due Friday, and Gov. Kathy Hochul says she wants a rollback of 2019’s infamously moronic penal-law…
“Hochul’s solutions won’t do much for bail-reform pit-falls” Gov. Kathy Hochul has a list of “reforms” to New York’s bail-reform law she wants the Legislature to include in the budget due April 1. It’s about time she acknowledged the need for fixes as crime continues to surge. She’s not really offering any, though: Her plan…
“As the deadline nears for a state budget, Albany is racing to jeopardize NY’s fiscal future” With just over a week to go before the new budget year begins April 1, one big question is how much damage Gov. Kathy Hochul and legislative leaders will do to the state’s fiscal future. Awash in cash from…
“Charter schools’ common sense ask of state Legislature” A pro-charter school rally in City Hall Park Wednesday served as a reminder of yet another thing Albany isn’t doing: letting more kids attend good schools. The Legislature refuses to lift the cap that prevents more charters from opening in New York City, though enrollment in charters…
