Posted at 3:40 pm, about the ongoing delays with the overdue #NYBudget-slash-everything-else bill.

Genuinely unsure if this is a good sign or a bad one: abc7ny.com/new-york-stateā€¦

Regardless, this isn't the sort of issue that should be passed as its written!
This stuff was unacceptable when Congressional Republican wrote their 2017 tax bill in secret, and it's unacceptable here.

We should see the proposals and actually discuss them.

ESPECIALLY since, with bail reform, we actually have data that can inform us abt what will happen.
I mean, put aside the premise of the current bail reform-reform, which is built on the utterly untested and somewhat untestable claim that bail reform has made things "worse."

At the very least, we could use our data to estimate how many and what sort of cases would be affected.

For all you driverless cars fanatics, the governor's #nybudget proposal extends the existing pilot
program for testing of autonomous vehicles for another two years. Also calls for ending the state's "one-hand on the wheel" requirement with regards to autonomous
vehicles.
Governor's #nybudget would make ALL vacation rentals subject to state and local sales taxes. Taxes would be collected by renting service (#airbnb, VRBO, etc.).

These types of local taxes are collected in a piecemeal fashion based on various county agreements.
Gov. Cuomo proposes giving counties the ability to retain their 4% local sales tax rate without repeatedly getting authorization from the state to go above 3%. This would eliminate a lot of legislative busy work in Albany.
