The fact that Slate was removed as a co-developer for the Armory after their scandal as well as the fact that Carmelo Anthony withdrew support for the recreation center is a testament to how much of a shitshow this has been.

far be it from me to agree with the Post, but they raise some good points about how the scholarship program sucks and stands to make student loans even worse. namely, there's a last-minute provision put in by senate republicans and supported by cuomo to require in-state jobs after college or they'll magically become loans call this plan like it is: bullshit

ruben diaz sr. is running for city council, where he can do far less damage as a brash pro-life anti-gay theocrat than he can in the state senate. hopefully the candidates who step up in his absence are better than the people who are widely considered to be interested in running for perkins's vacant seat in harlem

Once details come out (ha), make sure to read carefully. here's a rundown of possible challenges to IDC members across the state. klein and savino aren't going anywhere, and as much as i'd love to see richardson take down hamilton i doubt she'll run. i don't see carlucci getting a challenge either the remaining four will get somebody. i'd love to see Miner (who has no love for Cuomo) take on Valesky

there's a special election coming up in the 9th assembly district and there's a good chance to flip the seat to a Sanders Democrat. long story short: Pellegrino was a Sanders delegate last year (admittedly this doesn't mean so much as Alcantara was as well), she wasn't going to get the Democratic nomination for the election, she went to the Working Families Party, the Dems ended up choosing her to avoid humiliation and retribution from the WFP, she won't be getting much (or any) help from the local and state party, but she's got lots of union backing in a union-heavy district in Suffolk County the election is May 23rd. anyone out in the armpit of Long Island should consider volunteering for her campaign edit: the Suffolk County Dems aren't supporting her because the head of it is under investigation for fundraising irregularities. gg ny get that OUT of my face has issued a correction as of 04:21 on Apr 22, 2017 |

as much as i like zephyr teachout, she was absolutely a carpetbagger in that district. i'm not sure whether that encompasses some of Amedore's state senate district, but if it does, it'd be nice to see Cecilia Tkaczyk run. she won the first election there in 2012 even though it was carved out to be GOP friendly, but she lost the rematch two years later and hasn't bothered running since
