'Rejecting the bill, Hochul said in her veto statement that the state budget didn’t account for the costs associated with the bill. She lumped it together with 16 other bills that she said would cost the state $30 million altogether.' Yeah, NY doesn't have $30M to throw around. The 'Hochul...

I wonder if the state will try to find a way to tax as income the amount over the actual property value.

At least the gov't successfully wasted more of our money.

So 'This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private' really means what it says? Maybe someday they'll figure out what the 2A says.

Could be worse... https://www.kcci.com/article/des-moines-police-officer-leaves-rifle-on-roof-of-vehicle-video/69461529

I don't think the state should have anything to do with NYC's transit system. If they want buses, subways, etc, the city and riders should pay for it. The family who lives in the middle of some rural upstate town shouldn't be helping to foot the bill. If the city can't afford a subway, they...

It's also a problem that movies and TV shows from before 9/11 have had skyline shots of the twin towers removed from them. It's like they're trying to forget the towers ever existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_the_September_11_attacks_on_the_entertainment_industry

They should just provide an order of protection. It worked for this woman. https://wnbf.com/binghamton-man-stabbed-woman-repeatedly/

They did shut down the National Zoo webcams AGAIN. Are we normally paying people to operate these things that just sit there and send video out to the world? https://nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams

AI is also covering for the gov. My question was 'When was the nys thruway supposed to be free?'

Wait, I thought the scary rifles were so powerful that the damage caused by the round hitting the animal made the meat unusable?

How could you possibly buy something so scary? Especially with the pistol grip and shoulder thing that goes up? EDIT: Evidently, AI says the 'shoulder thing that goes up' is a legitimate firearm term...

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/government-shuts-down-after-congress-deadlocks-spending-deal Whoo Hoo! A few days of not wasting tax payer money. If I didn't hear it on the radio, I would never be aware that the gov shut down. As always, virtually no one can tell it's happening- except the...

Let me guess, the state makes you update your permit info every 3 years. He isn't great with a computer, and since he didn't update his info, his permit with no expiration date expired.

"And they are so well made that, with a decent scope, a person with basic firearm proficiency can strike a target from 150 to 200 yards away, roughly the distance of the shot fired by the Kirk assassin." What happened to the shooter had to be a trained sniper/assassin that the media was touting...
