New York (again)

New York is now the ‘least free’ state, thanks to Democrat policies

New York Post, by Post Editorial Board

 

New York state once again ranks as the “least free” in America, as a new Cato Institute report nails woes The Post has long decried. Cato’s libertarians rank the Empire State dead-last, 50th, for policies impacting economic, social and personal freedoms — and even where it scores slight gains (for legalizing pot and reforming criminal justice), Albany plainly screwed up. “

Upwards of 2,500 NYPD officers turned
in their badges in 2023 amid concerning trend

 by Kevin Haggerty

 

Budget cut-bolstered attrition set the Big Apple up for a “dramatic turn for the worse” as police officers have turned in their badges in staggering numbers. A microcosm of the managed decline seen at the national level, New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ (D) succession to Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) in putting leftist agendas ahead of basic safety and operations measurably set the city back decades.

 

As resources were reallocated to accommodate the out-of-control influx of illegal aliens, disenchanted and disgruntled members of the NYPD continued resigning in droves, even as they were short of the requirements to receive full pensions, according to the NYPD pension data.

Great trip to NY over the holiday.  The Guilderland rest area on I-90 in Schenectady is closed so if you're traveling to/from MA you have about 40-50 miles between rest areas.  Elsewhere along the way, there's plenty of "text stops" but they don't have any services.  The state-run bathroom-only rest stops are worse than a porta potty. 

 

At least we didn't get stuck in construction delays this trip!

War on drugs.  

So if you're busted with illegal cannabis, does that get you a fast path to having a license to distribute?

 

Or was that only for people who get busted when it was super bad, not just sorta bad?

So true.  It's a different story when NY doesn't get their cut of the $$$$$$.  What a mess.
