Here are some of my thoughts and yes, my opinions, on recent happenings. — I understand that President Trump has barred Politico, CNN, and MS NOW from the White House for engaging in “fake news.” While all three outlets have been unrepentant purveyors of fake news during both Trump ...
It's pretty funny that it's a Democrat who is now taking aim at repealing the state's outside income limits for state lawmakers. Assemblyman Clyde Vanel makes many of the same arguments that Republicans made in opposition to the $35,000 outside income cap before the state Legislature approved them in 2022. Vanel, D-Queens City, argued in the legislative justification for A.11733 that the outside income cap wouldn't have prevented any of the laundry list malfeasance involving the New York's legislators in the 2000s.

The Famed New Yorker from a small place called Cooperstown, Abner Doubleday, created the game most revered in this country. It was a ...
County Executive PJ Wendel is proposing a 58-cent tax rate decrease and no tax levy increase in his 2027 budget. Not increasing the levy is due, in part, to increased use of the county’s surplus while the county’s tax rate decrease is due, in part, to a 14% increase in the value of property in the county.
