GOP calls for more transparency ahead of NY budget

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 12:08:12 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- As the clock ticks down to the state's April 1st budget deadline, Republican lawmakers are once again pushing for a constitutional amendment called the New York State Budget Transparency Act. NYS Budget could include streaming service tax  In New York, bills are supposed to age for three days, allowing lawmakers and the public an opportunity to review them. In previous years, that method was bypassed during budget season with “a message of necessity” -- used to push bills through without that three-day review period. It’s legal, but some lawmakers say it’s “sneaky” including Senator Jim Tedisco. "When we do this budget, I can’t guarantee it, but if you look at history, it is going to be in the middle of the night. And what you’re going to have is our constituents, in the middle of their dreams, hopefully they’re having sweet dreams but we may be about to create a nightmare for them with the budget we’re putting in place," he said.

The beginning of the end for Jack Johnson’s goal drought was at first intermission.Avalanche coach Jared Bednar identified an adjustment he wanted to make Monday night in Anaheim. The veteran third-pairing blueliner Johnson delivered.“We went over a couple things after the first period that we felt like we could do, in order to create some offense,” Bednar said. “And shooting it from the point was part of it. Taking the middle of the ice from the point was part of it, if (the Ducks) were slow to get out there. And he did both. It’s a little bit of an extended shift. We get a low-to-high to him, he charges the middle. While he charges the middle, we get a great screen from Nieto in front.
