I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“Who will win in the battle of NY’s insane gerrymander?” The state Appellate Division just got it half-right on the Legislature’s gerrymander, correctly blasting the US House-seat maps as drawn expressly “to discourage competition and favor Democrats” and thus violating New York’s Constitution. But the court so far has the state Senate maps intact, though…
“Hochul failed to get NY needed criminal-justice fixes” Facing a legislative leadership that flat-out refused to make any of the vital fixes to New York’s insane criminal-justice reforms, Gov. Kathy Hochul belatedly opted to ask for some small changes as her price for agreeing to a bloated state budget. She wound up getting some tiny…
“NY lawmakers fail to strike ‘top secret’ budget deal: critics” ALBANY — Gov. Hochul and state lawmakers failed to strike a budget deal on New York’s overdue 2023 fiscal plan Wednesday, with critics slamming the “top secret” negotiation process as “appalling” and “undemocratic.” Lawmakers are looking to add another $4 billion in additional spending to…
“Lawmakers failed to get baseline data to judge bail reforms” They didn’t do their homework! The lawmakers in Albany who initially passed the controversial bail reforms failed to require that state agencies perform a baseline analysis of its impacts — making it impossible to determine what effect the law has had on crime in the…
“The Legislature’s next gift to New York criminals” Bad enough that the Legislature is resisting modest fixes to its recent, disastrous criminal-justice reforms. Worse that it’s looking to bungle onward. We’re looking at the “clean slate” bill from state Sen. Zellnor Myrie (D-B’klyn), one of the few policy items included in the Senate’s budget 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…
“Expert testimony proves judge must stop Dems’ unconstitutional vote-rigging” Expert testimony at a court hearing this week on Democrats’ blatantly unconstitutional gerrymandering to rig state elections makes it beyond clear: Judge Patrick McAllister needs to order new maps and, if they’re not ready in time, postpone the June primaries. At the hearing, election analyst Sean…
“NYS Board of Regents is no place for racist Shino Tanikawa” Maybe the Legislature’s leaders’ reluctance to renew mayoral control of New York City’s public-school system is more than just an effort to torture Mayor Eric Adams. Their latest pick for the Board of Regents, which controls the State Education Department, is certainly a grim…
“#Mayor Eric Adams claims white journalists misrepresent him” Mayor Eric Adams unloaded Tuesday in an epic rant in which he threatened to stop fielding “off-topic” questions at his press conferences — and blasted the Big Apple’s news organizations over what he said was their lack of racial diversity. The scolding, which came before an unrelated…
“#NY lawmakers want to restrict rap lyrics as trial evidence” A pair of state lawmakers are moving to restrict prosecutors from using rap lyrics as evidence in criminal trials, arguing using music in courtrooms infringes on New Yorkers’ First Amendment protections. The “Rap Music on Trial” legislation, spearheaded by state Sens. Brad Hoylman and Jamaal…
