AND 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.

Israel Putnam carried out the execution by hanging of Edmund Palmer, during the Revolutionary war. 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. He was tried and convicted of spying and sentenced to death by a court-martial at Peekskill in late July. READ AND SEE MORE AT Where History Lives Part 10: Gallows Hill - Town of Cortlandt, NY News

Late, Bloated, and Behind Closed Doors: The NY Budget Disaster

New York still does not have a state budget. Albany has now passed its 11th budget extender, with another deadline set to expire on Thursday. Democrats are negotiating behind closed doors while taxpayers are kept in the dark.

Budgets are supposed to deal with finances, not sneak controversial policies into massive spending bills. Yet reports say Hochul is pushing measures to further block cooperation between law enforcement and ICE. Why is immigration policy being buried inside the budget instead of debated in public?
