Absurd Alhazred posted:In other news, I could swear I posted about it here when he was forced out, but the extremely unlikely Republican candidate for Troy mayor is back in the race. This whole story is completely weird, and might contain some much-needed fallout for our piece of poo poo county executive, McLaughlin. LOL, the Times Union got the tape. Too bad we're stuck with McLaughlin for two more years, up for reelection in 2021 I think.

Yeah, I think the goon consensus was YES on 1, 2, and 3, and NO on 4 and 5. 4's too vaguely-written and could be easily abused, and while 5 is a nice idea, giving development delay power to Community Boards, in reality most community boards are absolute poo poo and it would just be used to stall bike lanes.

one thing to keep in mind is that community boards have no power whatsoever to stop any kind of development in their districts. they regularly vote to say to not build something all the time, but it's regularly overruled by city council anyway, especially when it's rezoning or a giant gently caress-off building with the bare minimum amount of "affordable" units. so vote whatever the hell you want to for ballot measure 5, who gives a poo pooGrondoth posted:Hey why is Cuomo not signing a lot of stuff?

the scanning thing is because the ballots are printed on demand. did the main day today have different tables for ED/AD? early voting just had two stations so all of the ballot books didn’t have to be piled on one or two tables

I'm not liking the early returns as reported in the Times Union. They keep saying Troy is this Democratic stronghold, but with almost half of precincts reporting on the city-wide races it seems like race-baiting DWI road rager is getting another term as Council President, and Madden may actually be deposed, to be replaced by the person that fucker McLaughlin wanted to win. The rest of the council doesn't look too good, either. Bah, I'm going to bed.

Madden won but Reale quite obviously acted as a spoiler so I imagine it must be real fun to be in earshot of McLaughlin tonight. also what was up with the iPads? we didn’t have print on demand ballots upstate, so it didn’t seem to serve a purpose that the old books weren’t taking care of.

So looking at the tallies on the Rensselaer County election results website, not only did Reale really spoil things, the WFP endorsed a Republican in District 2, which seems to have given her the election, as there were 44 WFP votes and the Republican won by 6. The DWI race-baiter is definitely still Council President incumbent. Turnout was joke, we have to have more than about 8000 eligible voters in this city.

maybe i'm reading too much into nothing, but given that Jumaane is the only person out there who's mentioning Cuomo by name and connecting him to the shortcomings of NY state, i have a hunch he's gonna run for governor in 2022 unfortunately his successor in City Council, Farah Louis, couldn't be any more different. she's spent her short time there hitching her political fortunes to the more conservative group, and she seems particularly cozy with Chaim Deutsch

there's an annual state government conference in Puerto Rico happening right now. i saw a state assemblywoman put some of it up on her Instagram stories, namely some nonsense from Tish James and Cuomo saying he's going to spend Thanksgiving there. the latter is definitely pandering and probably not gonna happen

Peter King of southern Nassau and Suffolk Counties is retiring. i'm rolling my eyes at the ongoing narrative that he's some kind of bipartisan hero, he's the avatar of every Blue Lives Matter bridge-and-tunnel NYPD shithead that lives in his district and a massive islamophobe ramos is one of the few people in state government who regularly calls out cuomo on his bullshit, she rules

Imagine fundraising for and politically supporting the PIRA, then having the gall to decide that every single Muslim in this country is a criminal and traitor. The only bad thing about him retiring is that he didn't disappear up his own rear end years ago. By his own standards he should have spent that time in Gitmo.
