NY lieutenant governor arrested on bribery charges

 

New York Lieutenant Gov. Brian Benjamin was indicted for alleged bribery and other offenses, as part of what federal prosecutors say was a "scheme" to get campaign contributions in exchange for a $50,000 state grant.

 

The indictment also alleges that Benjamin and others worked to "cover up" the plot, engaging "in a series of lies and deception."

I feel like it's bigger news when a high ranking NY poli isn't arrested, implicated, forced out or is otherwise preoccupied with forcing very sick folks into NYS nursing homes.  

 

Our recent run includes Eliot Spitzer, Andrew Cuomo, Eric Schneiderman, and now Eric Fields.  Before that, of course we had Senators Bruno and Silver...and many others.

"We got him!" "Him," of course, being a guy with a prolific Hotep-adjacent online presence who dropped his keys, guns, and CREDIT CARD during his "escape" from the train platform with no working surveillance cameras and who was "known to" the FBI but was "cleared" after "several interviews."

N.Y. House Districts Illegally Favor Democrats, Appeals Court Rules

A divided five-judge panel found that Democrats engaged in gerrymandering in creating new district maps. The case is expected to head to New York’s highest court.
 

A New York appeals court ruled on Thursday that new congressional districts drawn by Democrats violated the state’s ban on partisan gerrymandering, partially upholding a lower-court ruling that would block the state from using the lines in this year’s critical midterm elections.
 

A divided five-judge panel in Rochester said Democratic legislative leaders had drawn the new House map “to discourage competition and favor Democrats,” knowingly ignoring the will of voters who recently approved a constitutional amendment outlawing the practice.
 

“We are satisfied that petitioners established beyond a reasonable doubt that the Legislature acted with partisan intent,” a three-judge majority wrote in its opinion. Two judges dissented.
 

Gov. Kathy Hochul and top legislative leaders are expected to immediately appeal the decision to the state’s highest court, the New York Court of Appeals. The judges there, all of whom were appointed by Democratic governors, have indicated they could render a final verdict as soon as next week.

New York State

Statewide, Democrats now account for 50% of the state's 13.6 million voters, while Republicans are at 22%.

Another 22.4% do not belong to a party, while the rest belong to a third party.

 

https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/albany/2020/11/02/more-blue-democrats-benefit-ny-enrollment-surge/6124245002/

 

It's hard to be fair to Independents when (not seen as a real party in NY) are the wild card . I live in the most Republican district of NYS (Lockport)  with the old lines drawn. Gerrymandering unfortunately is common in most of the country and needs reform.

 

The Independence Party of New York State (IPNY) gained ballot access in 1994 and became the New York affiliate of the national Reform Party in 1995. The IPNY left the Reform Party in 2000 and launched the national Independence Party of America in 2007. Though the status of the national party is unclear as of 2016, the IPNY remains active in New York.

 

Due to fusion voting laws in New York, the IPNY often endorses major party nominees rather than nominating its own candidates. According to a November 2015 report by the New York State Board of Elections, the IPNY had 476,873 registered voters in the state.

 

Opponents have noted that a large number of IPNY voters have mistakenly registered with the party in an attempt to register as independent, or unaffiliated, voters. The group acknowledged the misunderstanding and called for a change to the state's voter registration forms in its 2015 legislative agenda

NY Democrats accusing one another of racism after gerrymander debacle

 

"Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres accused fellow Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney — who is also chairman of the House Democratic Congressional Committee — of racism following reports that allies of the Hudson Valley Democrat suggested that incumbent black Rep. Mondaire Jones is not ideologically suited to represent his newly redrawn district."

We’re not that far removed from NYS leadership taking people with a potentially fatal virus and requiring them to be placed in direct proximity to the most vulnerable citizens in the country, in a closed environment, family members prohibited from visiting and overseeing care, and having a “Holy Crap” moment when they decided the best course of action was to cook the death count books hoping nobody would notice thousands of deaths. 
 

They are just scratching the surface here.

What amazes me on Twitter was the number of people of saying that it was a mentally ill person, so starting a fight would be bad. Teaching mentally ill people that they get special right due to their illness is not healthy for them or society. Even I'll people need to know that there is a line, and when you touch another person that line is crossed and consequences follow.

its the way our society is built now. its NY. so its not JUST a mentally ill person. its a BLACK mentally ill person. meaning if your white you definatly better just sit there and hope he doesn't pull a weopon and kill that woman. you act and you just committed a hate crime on someone with a disability who knows not what he is doing. even if your not white or security you are putting yourself at risk AFTER putting yourself at risk.

 

a few media outlets decide to edit out any action before you intervene now the story of a poor mentally ill man is told and then a clip of you attacking him. while they ignore the woman or witness testimony.  prepare for at the least a lawsuit and at most the president commenting on the version he chooses. time and time and time again this has happened. the public that jumps on board and villianize to destroys someone so quickly is nowhere to be found when a full video is uncovered and actual evidence is presented. even if it is 100% proven false there are STILL people that simply can't believe that they were lied to so they continue on. its is insanity!

 

this is all intentional heading us off a cliff. never thought in a world with information at  everyones fingertips it would be so simplistic to propagate flat out lies that stick with such a large portion of the public.

 

this means you are literally damned if you do damned if you don't. everyone is a god with the power of hindsight. that man plunges a knife in that poor girl and its easily shifted to how could you just sit there and watch this happen!!!! i would of.. they should of.. 

 

what a incredable power to know the intentions and outcomes of everything. armchair quarterbacking everything afterwards from the comfort of home giving our "leaders" to act on the whims of a mob that will move on the second the news cycle changes.

NY lawmaker rips Mayor Adams as NYPD sees officer exodus: Stop 'partying' and focus on crime

A New York State assemblyman is demanding action from New York City Mayor Eric Adams as NYPD officers are reportedly leaving the department at a record rate amid a surge in violent crime. 

 

"Obviously Mayor Adams inherited a mess from Bill de Blasio, but unfortunately, he really hasn't been able to turn the tide here.

"And I think more and more law enforcement officers, as soon as they can retire, are taking the opportunity to do so or if they could transfer to a department in the suburbs are doing so," he told co-host Carley Shimkus.

Forget the suburbs, every NYPD kid I've talked to with less than five years on is taking at least one interview with a department in Florida. Half the chiefs and sheriffs down there are New York guys. NYPD officers in good standing don't have to go to academy at all, just three weeks of paid classroom time learning Florida law. Signing bonuses and other perks. Some of those departments offer lateral officers $80k out of the gate.

Trump cleared of contempt charges, dealing loss to Democrats

Former President Donald Trump was cleared of contempt charges after failing to turn over documents demanded in a subpoena by the state’s attorney general, a New York judge has ruled. Trump’s April 25 contempt finding came after he contested a December subpoena seeking records related to his personal finances and the financing of several properties.

State Supreme Court shoots down quarantine and isolation provision

A New York State provision establishing isolation and quarantine procedures for those suspected of having a contagious disease was shot down in State Supreme Court on Friday night, as State Senator George Borello and his fellow plaintiffs won their lawsuit, claiming the provision was unconstitutional.

 

</snip>

 

The ruling was decided by Judge Ronald Ploetz of the State Supreme Court of Cattaraugus County, who said “there is already established Public Health Law 2120 governing isolation and quarantine, which balances individual rights and the need for public safety.”

 

“This ruling is a victory for the citizens of New York State because it affirms that their power, through their legislative representation, cannot be usurped,” Senator Borrello said.
