From the New York Times:
Cuomo Faces Revolt as Legislators Move to Strip Him of Pandemic Powers
The Democratic leaders of the New York State Senate are moving to strip Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of unilateral emergency powers granted during the pandemic, setting up a remarkable rebuke for the governor from members of his own party.
The Senate’s measures, which could be voted on as soon as next week, underscore the deepening division between Mr. Cuomo and state lawmakers since the governor admitted to intentionally withholding critical data on virus-related deaths from the Legislature.
The moves came even as it emerged that the F.B.I. and the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York had opened an inquiry into the Cuomo administration’s handling of nursing homes during the pandemic. It was not known whether the inquiry, which was confirmed by three people familiar with the matter, was focused on Mr. Cuomo or any individual, only that it was in its earliest stages.
And the good citizens of New York State will elect a conservative who will institute a balanced budget and get the State back into solvency and proper leadership. Two years after that, some knucklehead will come along and offer all sorts of free shit to the electorate and will get voted into office and the damned cycle will repeat again.
Some people have no sense of history.
