REALITY REARS ITS UGLY HEAD------"ROLLING BACK NY'S CLIMATE LAW, GOV. HOCHUL SAYS SHE'S LIVING IN *REALITY*"

Hochul’s budget deal calls for scaling back the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act in two key ways.

First, the 2030 mandate will be eliminated and replaced with a new goal of a 60% emissions cut by 2040, according to the governor’s office. The mandated 85% cut by 2050 will remain in place.

The second rollback is potentially more consequential. Hochul says the state will adopt a new method for calculating the impact of its emissions, assessing their effect over 100 years instead of the current 20 years. The move will instantly put the state far closer to meeting the emissions target without making any meaningful changes.

AND YET ANOTHER UNCONSTITUTIONAL RACE-BASED GERRYMANDER BITES THE DUST---IN ALABAMA....

......The ruling follows the Court’s decision in the case involving Louisiana, in which the Court’s reinterpretation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act informed its May 4 ruling that a largely black U.S. House district in Louisiana was an unconstitutional race-based gerrymander....... Alabama had argued that their case mirrored Louisiana’s and that they wanted the same outcome, adding that their goal was to prioritize policy and not racial considerations, SCOTUSblog reported.

Edmund Palmer (d. 1777) of Cortlandt Manor, N.Y., was captured near Peekskill on 15 July 1777 after allegedly breaking into the house of a “Mr. Willis” and attacking its occupants.
