“Albany hates our kids but loves casinos” “It’s disappointing that Albany chose to lift the cap on casinos, but not charter schools,” Success Academy CEO Eva Moskowitz noted of the new state budget. Spot-on. It couldn’t be clearer. Gov. Kathy Hochul, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate chief Andrea Stewart-Cousins care about special interests and…
“Hochul, lawmakers roll back pension reform in $220B budget” Gov. Kathy Hochul and lawmakers quietly delivered a gift to public employee unions — by partially rolling back the decade-old pension reforms that curbed runaway costs to taxpayers and overtime abuse, The Post has learned. The rollbacks were tucked into the record-breaking $220 billion election-year state…
“Hochul’s first budget rewards unions at taxpayers’ expense” New Yorkers are aghast that the Buffalo Bills stadium deal, which will fill the pockets of a wealthy NFL team owner with their tax dollars, is in the state budget the Legislature just adopted. But it’s not exactly a rogue element. The stadium giveaway is really a…
“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.

That streak was broken in 2011. It was then that lawmakers in Albany assured New Yorkers that the…
“GOPers stand vindicated and other commentary” Hunter watch: GOPers Stand Vindicated “The list of those owed an apology over the Hunter Biden affair may stretch to the moon and back,” snarks Kimberly A. Strassel at The Wall Street Journal. Topping the list? Republicans “Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson.” Their probe of Hunter spooked Dems, who…
“State budget won’t increase number of NYC charter schools” The $220 billion state budget will allow New York City to get new casinos, but state legislators refused to roll the dice on more charter schools. Charter advocates on Friday responded to the agreement that left them out in the cold on two key issues —…
“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.
