Hey are there any good wrap up pieces about last weeks primary or podcasts. I hate how theres wall to wall coverage for months, and then nothing about why and how people actually voted.

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.

get that OUT of my face posted:i wouldn't worry too much because Jumaane's got a lot of name recognition and has been showing up to everything related to this race. i'm gonna vote for him. if i were you, i'd still vote for him anyway because most of the job of public advocate is just showing up, and Jumaane's done a lot of that over the years. Espinal is a big defender of NYC nightlife and or Ron Kim was one of the first people to speak out against the Amazon deal, but by comparison they've been pretty quiet over the years Public Advocate is supposed to be a gadfly, a person willing to take all interests. And the biggest interest in NYC is the real estate lobby. Konst is the only viable candidate that's never taken any money from them. It also helps she's never been a politician in a race rife with them for a job that is supposed to be official annoying journalist of the city. I'm not alone in thinking so: https://www.thevillager.com/2019/02/wanted-candidates-wholl-fight-big-real-estate/

I don't get it. I know Cuomo is evil and all, but whenever I think about him turning down billions in fed money because he wanted to preserve Medicaid cuts (the billions hinged on him not cutting it) that my brain starts frying and zapping like a robot who's violated their prime directive.

The tech companies sure do a good job of throwing millions at anyone morally bankrupt to gently caress over their own ppl like that NAACP lady in Cali. They're gonna try to do the same thing here, try to pass something similar to Prop 22 to make sure everyone is poor while some scumfuck "organizer" crows about it helping black folks, gently caress

I always thought he was a joke but no joke I was getting a little worried when he was talking about cutting taxes for property owners and raising funding for the police. Combining the pro police and FYGM lobbies is a potent combination. But Adams solidly got that bloc instead.

Yang's supposed to be an insurgent candidate and did everything to squelch any enthusiasm from young ppl. He was too unconnected to gte picked up by the elite money here. The market here is just too tight. Its bizaare that he thought running for mayor of NYC, the most dogshit position in local politics, was a good idea.

Buffalo is the most segregated city in America outside of Milwaukee there's no commonality there other than gut busting servings of cheese and meat, usually on some sort of bread but sometimes in a sluice slop poured into trenches in a Tops parking lot I loving miss the food

Absurd Alhazred posted:Andy's off the hook for groping a State Trooper, at least as far as Nassau County's concerned lol. On Dec. 8, Hochul attended a fundraiser arranged by the Manhattan law firm Feuerstein Kulick, a major player in the expanding field of cannabis law. The firm advises companies on winning licenses from state governments across the country. New York has yet to select the companies that will win potentially lucrative licenses to sell recreational marijuana. An email obtained by the Times Union indicates that one week before the fundraiser, Feuerstein Kulick attorney Nancy Baynard encouraged cannabis clients to donate heavily, stating that the firm was in touch with the “director of finance for Hochul’s administration/campaign.” weed distribution is gonna be such a racket holy hell
