Lobbying hasn’t worked that way for a while now, especially after Citizens United.

The asylum seekers who are vaccinated at the border and then bussed to New York in a tax-payer funded political campaign by a sitting Republican governor are the cause of outbreaks of… what, exactly? Gonorrhea?

>Are these hotel owners planning to replace all the mattresses and bedding, and deep clean all the carpets and upholstery? Otherwise, I don't know how many tourists would visit NYC instead of another destination.
This statement assumes that migrants are "dirtier" than tourists. On the cartoonishly evil range, I rate this statement 9/10 on the CE scale.

Reply to comment by knockatize in Ban Corporal Punishment in Private Schools, New York Lawmakers Say by _Maxolotl
Enforcement budget…? Like a victim’s fund? I’m no specialist on this law but I think the executive presents a budget and the legislature approves it.
Spending bills originate in the house and is approved by the senate and sent up to the executive to create law but the authority to actually spend money from the fund is up to the executive, right?
Say Albany gives out money for this purpose to the various local municipalities (county, city, town, zone), and then their executive and/or enforcement agency has their own enforcement priorities… I’m not sure if the legislature can really be blamed here.

FYI, the legislature doesn’t enforce laws, the executive does.

MAGA cult of idiots, if only.
“I’m a moderate Democrat but protestors really should learn to respect the officers in blue.”
“Gosh that’s horrible, it was a really dangerous time to be outside at night anyways. Why are they provoking the police?? Let them do their jobs.”
Roll eye so they join the space x train all the way around the globe and back.

Are opioid overdoses resulting in so many people dying that the hospital morgues were full and bodies were placed out on the hospital streets in like freezer trucks? Because that’s what COVID was in 2020 when we went into shut down.

I don’t think having a salary of $160,000 would allow you to have a brownstone and a chauffeur in New York.

I’m curious as to whether you actually understand the issue.
What is the particular situation that the other political party would do in the reverse?
