Albany NJ, New York state legislators have reached a deal to strip Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of his pandemic-linked emergency powers. The changes have been demanded by many state politicians seeking to rein in the Governor, as calls for him to resign grow. Cuomo now faces three worsening scandals: revelations that he hid the death toll in New York nursing homes; sexual harassment accusations by at least three young women; and allegations of verbal abuse by legislators.
The deal would reverse emergency powers granted to Cuomo exactly a year ago, in the early days of the COVID pandemic, that gave him free rein to order measures like quarantines.
Assemblywomen Carrie Woerner tweeted the outlines of the widely reported deal Tuesday afternoon, saying it would:
“repeal the extraordinary powers granted to the Governor last year”
“provide for an orderly transition through the end of the disaster period”
“Limit any further modifications to directives to that which is necessary to reduce the spread or increase vaccinations”
“Restore the right of counties and municipalities to issue executive orders without seeking state approval”
“Require the Governor to provide online reporting on all executive orders, providing transparency for all”
The deal leaves Cuomo with the authority to extend some existing measures, even there he will have to notify various legislative leaders and accept public comment for or against his actions. Legislators will also have the power to repeal a gubernatorial declaration of a state of emergency.
Oh yeah…
This is all bullshit, why did they wait so long to come out. This is all about they don’t want him running again. Dirty politics just like Ridgewood. He’s not going nowhere.
Does he have to give his Emmy back?
I’ll sit back and enjoy watching this arrogant punk get de-throned.
This will be as good or better than when McGreevy came out of the closet , but since ManGreevy waved the rainbow flag, the media let it go away.
This time it wont go away hahah f-u andrew.

Live by sword, die by the sword.

The timing was all Trump-related. He was a major part of the anti-Trump movement, what with his “better” daily Covid briefings, which including plenty of Trump bashing. However, once the election scam was concluded and the Dems “won”, he no longer provided value to them. The whole structure beneath him was stuck because he would not move on. Politics is a dirty business.
THIS IS STEP 1.
STEP 2 is to install the female Lieutenant Governor as Governor.
(also satisfies his “me too” issues)
