Cuomo-19 Laws

EARLIER THIS YEAR, GOVERNOR CUOMO HELD COVID-19 FUNDING HOSTAGE TO GET THE BILL S.7919 PASSED, WHICH GIVES HIM THE POWER TO TAKE VIRTUALLY ANY ACTION HE DEEMS NECESSARY WHEN THERE IS A DECLARED EMERGENCY. THIS MEASURE GIVES HIM THE ABILITY TO MAKE CHANGES AND ENACT LEGISLATION WITHOUT CONSULTING THE STATE LEGISLATURE, HOLDING HEARINGS, OR PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC INPUT. HE MAY DECLARE AN EMERGENCY IN VIRTUALLY ANY CIRCUMSTANCE; SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, IN 55 DAYS, COUMO HAS UNILATERALLY ENACTED OR CHANGED; 262 LAWS!
