Absurd Alhazred posted:Any idea what this actually means in practical terms? What's the State of New York going to do differently now that it's a Declared Emergency? the health dept and other agencies can make orders that have to be followed that they dont have authority to make normally how it was described when cuomo did one in 2020 for c19: A state of emergency declaration permits the governor to direct local officials and state agencies, and to suspend state and local law or regulation to facilitate disaster response efforts

In Training posted:Is there any state amendment or referenda to care about this year. In addition to prop 1, which is statewide, NYC residents have three additional ballot questions that were written by the racial justice commission that BDB commissioned a few years back The first (question 2 on your ballot) adds a bunch of posturing platitudes to the city charter about equality and Justice that are not meaningfully binding in any way. The next (Q3) establishes an office in city government for racial equity and such. Unclear exactly what sort of power it would have, but they’ll have a budget. The last one (Q4) calls for the city to determine the “true” cost of living in a way that looks beyond standard poverty measures (which are often based on federal formulae that don’t work well in NYC) - could be, once again, useless posturing, but has the potential to be a big deal by creating a number that other city services can work from that isn’t artificially deflated by the cost of living in Columbus Ohio.

Not election related, but my former Assemblymember promoted this piece in the Albany Times Union that also interviews her, about her pushing through a limited Right to Repair law. Hochul will probably veto it, though.quote:New York’s Digital Fair Repair Act, a bill the Legislature passed this spring targeting consumers' "right to repair" the devices they own.

Double-posting for new content: maybe Jay Jacobs will get hosed, finally?quote:As the carnage for Democrats in New York crystallized on Wednesday, party leaders across the state swiftly called for Jacobs’s resignation. Asked about those calls, incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who won reelection on Tuesday even as the party suffered down the ballot, told reporters she had no plans to replace him.

Rensselaer County is such a jokequote:TROY — Jason T. Schofield, Rensselaer County's Republican elections commissioner, is scheduled to plead guilty to federal criminal charges in January in connection with an ongoing investigation of voter fraud by the U.S. Department of Justice. You may remember that a Republican Troy city council member had to resign due to election fraud, as well. The Republican county exec was also indicted on similar charges, although I guess it's not as well-developed as this one.

the American automobile is a conservative institution. It promises comfort and isolation from everyone outside your immediate household; in practice, it cannot isolate you, but it can guarantee that all social interactions are adversarial. It replaces community with conflict and allows you to abdicate responsibility for the consequences of your consumption. Regardless of any individual's justifiable dependence on private automobiles, car culture is extremely terrible in exactly the way that conservatives revere. By offering an alternative to the private automobile, bicycles infuriate reactionaries already. This is made more severe by the fact that, within NYC, riding a bike is cheaper, faster, and more fun than sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic; this induces further resentment.

Hochul really wants LaSalle in there. Like, "go to war with the Democrats in the Senate, will get him with Republican help" wants it. I hope those of you who don't have a Republican representing you in the Senate can give your Senator a call.

Lasalle’s entire defense at his hearing today was “I personally support XYZ but I don’t have the gumption to consistently rule in support of them,” which is just a money look for our state’s most powerful jurist.

He's going to get binned by the committee right? The question is just how far hochul is willing to fight the statehouse next. State Senate has been adamant that a vote of the full chamber would be totally out of line and she wants to sue them over it, which would what, go to state court? Who would ever preside over that kind of question, considering it would be sent to the very same chair that is causing the split. The Dems are a mess
