We’re just a day away from threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs and even greater financial difficulties for New York if the Senate Republicans don’t sign on to the short-term bipartisan operating agreement and pass critically urgent legislation set to expire.

Michael Cabbie Caban How interesting that while I was doing a Playback show for LGBTQI students in Wallkill, NY 2 democratic legislators would become republicans. And they're both being investigated for crimes. What's going on?

Yesterday, the Republicans attempted a coup d’etat in the State Senate. This action, engineered in part by Florida resident and billionaire Tom Golisano, who recently left New York to avoid paying his fair share in taxes, is being framed as reform.

Instead of candidates for office raising a lot of large contributions from wealthy donors, a voluntary system of public financing of elections allows candidates to run for office by collecting many small donations and receiving public funds to run their campaign.
