Embattled Governor Cuomo to be Stripped of Emergency Powers in Legislative Deal
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will be stripped of his emergency powers in a new legislative deal between the state’s Assembly and state Senate.
New York Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner said the deal will do the following:
- “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”
My understanding is that as early as this Friday we will pass legislation that will:
