JUDICIARY Published 3 hours ago Cuomo vetoes bill letting all judges officiate weddings – because some were Trump-appointed So much for reaching across the aisle. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo just vetoed a bill that would have allowed all federal judges to officiate at weddings in New York — saying he can’t stomach the idea that even some of the jurists might be President Trump appointees. “I cannot in good conscience support legislation that would authorize such actions by federal judges who are appointed by this federal administration,” Cuomo said in a statement Friday as he shot down the bill — which was passed overwhelmingly by the Democratic-controlled state legislature. “President Trump does not embody who we are as New Yorkers,’’ the Democratic governor said. “The cornerstones that built our great state are diversity, tolerance, and inclusion. Based on these reasons, I must veto this bill.” Under current New York law, all state judges can preside over weddings in their official capacity — as can the governor, mayors, former mayors, some city and deputy city clerks, local justices, clergy members and any member of the public ordained especially for the occasion. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cuomo-vetoes-bill-letting-all-judges-officiate-weddings-because-some-were-trump-appointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting next school year, it will be illegal for public schools in the state to suspend students in first through fifth grade for willfully defying teachers or administrators. Then, from 2021 through 2025, it will be temporarily extended to kids in grades six through eight. ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if people in the Bay area understood why they have these elected officials, there might be more of an outcry. As it stands now, it's pretty much out of their control. They've managed to drive every major city, county and state election through ballot harvesting. In the last year alone they've turned a reliably red OC completely blue. And I mean completely blue in every nook and cranny. Subsequently they have a super majority in the Sacramento. Which means they can, and will, do whatever the hell they please. But hey...what a view! Just spectacular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 ...well ther goes his political career....speaking the truth is a travesty today............. CA mayor on exodus from blue states: 'I can't blame them' By Julia Musto | Fox News A mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of residents in blue states was to be expected because of their extremely high cost of living, Laguna Hills, Calif., Mayor Don Sedgwick said Tuesday. Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with hosts Griff Jenkins and Dean Cain, Sedgwick said that "it's just too darn expensive" to live in densely populated states like California and New York. "And, the Democrat liberal policies have contributed to that," he said. Recent U.S. Census Bureau data shows the South is seeing its biggest surge ever, with over a million residents pouring into states like Texas, Florida and the Carolinas. https://www.foxnews.com/media/california-mayor-blue-state-exodus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not all rosy but we have great food and I can still watch the bills with ex buffalonians who are far more awoken than post of you posters California was beautiful when I visited a couple decades ago. Loved it, though I had no desire to relocate, I certainly planned on visiting again. Much of what has been posted of late seems to be supported by links, no? The mayor of a town in Cali says x. The city of SF is surcharging residents and shops owners to beautify the streets by removing the crap weekly as opposed to the more traditional once per month $#it-steam cleaning. The links suggest a declining population and a rise in homelessness. It’s great that the food is good, but I get good food most of the places I travel. It’s great that you can watch the Bills with other fans, but again, that’s pretty much a thing everywhere. I don’t really see it as Cali v NY, but your perception seems to be that posters here are $#&ting on the Bay Area. Perhaps your energy might better be directed at...well, the people who are quite literally $#&ting on San Fran, or the people who might stop it? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 My brother did some teaching at one of the UC campuses in Northern California about 15 years ago. We're from the Rust Belt, so the best way to describe his politics would be like a John Kasich Rockefeller Republican type. Moderate Left would consider him to be to the Right of center. Moderate Right would consider him Left of center. Trumpsters would call him a Liberal and SJW would call him Literally Hitler. Anyway, dude loved it out there. The culture, the history, the architecture, and the landscape. If he had been offered tenure he would have taken it. But like most college professors he bounced around a few schools until he found a home. He went back two years ago and it's not what he remembered. There's always bad parts of town and places you don't really want to go, but its like everywhere now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
