get that OUT of my face posted:the state electorate doesn't need to be high to enable him to be governor-for-life because we're stupid enough as it is. at least it's pretty clear he's not running for president, he seems content to make this the Resistance State Yeah, I don't think you need to be a goon to make an AYB reference. It's nice to think about, though.

In a judicial loss to anti-choicers, Albany Catholic Diocese loses in court on 'abortion mandate' argumentquote:"(Church officials) believe contraceptives and abortion to be a moral 'evil' and the legal mandate compelling coverage for the same a violation of their core religious beliefs causing a deprivation of rights," McNally wrote. "The court finds the constitutional claims challenged in this case to be (the) same as those raised in Catholic Charities. Given that the Court of Appeal's addressed and rejected the same arguments, Catholic Charities is binding precedent requiring dismissal of plaintiffs constitutional claims in this matter." "moral evil!"

They are loving desperate to make some kind, any kind of abortion a crime:quote:Senate Republicans, who lost their majority in November’s election and have long stalled the bill, saying their opposition is rooted in the fact that victims of domestic violence could go unprotected. Except that: quote:Democrats note that other charges carry higher penalties than the abortion charge, and that Abreu’s attacker was also charged with felony assault and attempted murder.

holy poo poo, the Brooklyn Dem county committee meeting was announced two weeks in advance (Feb. 12), at a reasonable time (7pm), and is right off a subway stop instead of being out in the suburbs (it's off the G, but baby steps). i can't wait, hopefully it won't be a shitshow like last time

I know that this is in the New York Post and by a Manhattan Institute fellow, but is anything wrong with this argument that the new congestion pricing plan is essentially recreating the worst of the Robert Moses era?

I mean, it’s certainly recreating something from the Robert Moses era, but its hard to call it the worst, given that it doesn’t in any way recreate the absurd levels of racism and displacement etc. of Moses.

I mean, in terms of roadway governance. We should hope it won't be run by that big of a bigot, but the displacement could well happen, and adverse development doesn't need to be planned with racism explicitly in mind to have racist results.

Please vote for Nomiki Konst for Public Advocate yall, she's the only one not riding the land lord lobby's D this cycle. e: here's her actblue donation page: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/friends-of-nomiki-konst-1 e: Absurd Alhazred posted:I know that this is in the New York Post and by a Manhattan Institute fellow, but is anything wrong with this argument that the new congestion pricing plan is essentially recreating the worst of the Robert Moses era? As a person who has spent a year trying to read the Powerbroker, I feel like I've got the credentials to say no not quite. Its targeting vehicles to get funds to support public transportation, supposedly, the exact oppposite of Moses' whole deal. But yeah he definitely teaches us that we should pay attn to the wording of these laws, and that more money for authorities is just a way to divert the popular will of the city and prevent taxes on the rich, so I'm mildly alarmed by this situation.

I guess my problem is that while ostensibly the revenue is supposed to go to transit improvements, I'm not sure where there's anything to guarantee that that happens; meanwhile, the underlying incentive for the sub-authority would be to increase revenue, and I'm not sure I saw how that incentive is curtailed. Lack of city oversight is a big problem.

it's time for this guy to stop posting https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/new...asidic-bus.html i like Nick Rizzo as a district leader, but even people who know that his heart is in the right place think he would be better served by learning to stfu once in a while. also he is half-Jewish, and there is a mutual dislike between less religious Jews and Hasidim. but you gotta keep that part quiet

EugeneJ posted:https://patch.com/new-york/nanuet/learn-ny-single-payer-health-care-proposal-sunday to answer the question that you're asking: Cuomo absolutely will, because he's spent his entire third term so far being every bit as petty and filled with vengeance as trump. hell, today he lashed out at the Senate for showing some backbone against the Amazon move (which they're having second thoughts about) and demanded that they don't raise taxes on the wealthy. it's too early to tell, but i have a feeling that this term is going to end as poorly for him as it did for his dad and Pataki, especially if he keeps fancying himself as a roadblock against the legislature's goals

Don't worry the economic benefits will outweigh the billions of dollars in tax cuts we demand to move!
