Statement on Machete-Wielding Hunter College Professor by Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar
“Hunter Professor Shellyne Rodriguez has no business teaching young minds, and CUNY is right to dismiss her.

CONSERVATIVE PARTY: SUICIDE BILL ‘SLIPPERY SLOPE THAT MUST NOT BE BREACHED’
“The so-called Medical Aid in Dying Act (S.2445) would let New York doctors prescribe fatal chemicals to terminally ill patients for self-administration, providing that the patients are mentally competent. “This legislation represents the slipperiest of slopes, and it must not be made law. Who can truly determine one’s mental competence at such a time? How would patients be protected from subtle coercion from health providers, … [Read more...]

Senator Pam Helming Critical about This Fiscal Year Budget
This budget spends too much, provides no relief for taxpayers, and no help for small businesses and farms struggling with higher costs. It plans to withhold funds from local governments, risking even higher property taxes. It does nothing to fix bail and ensure public safety.
