Covid-19 Keeps New York s Capitol Closed in Run-Up to Legislative Session

Provided by Dow Jones By Jimmy Vielkind Advocacy groups said they are disappointed that the New York state Capitol remains closed to the general public on the eve of a legislative session where lawmakers will consider raising taxes, adjusting the state budget and legalizing marijuana for recreational use. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, with the support of Democratic leaders of the state Assembly and Senate, closed the Capitol to visitors on March 14 after two state legislators tested positive for the coronavirus. Access restrictions have remained in place since the spring, and both chambers of the Legislature passed resolutions allowing members to cast their votes remotely. The halls of the Capitol normally crowded with besuited lobbyists, chanting protesters, bustling bureaucrats and lawmakers were quiet this year, as officials enacted a $178 billion budget and passed laws overhauling policing practices.

Cuomo vetoes $1 6 million Fulton forgiveness bill

FULTON — A bill passed almost unanimously by both houses of the state Legislature to forgive a $1.6 million penalty assessed against the Fulton City School District over a clerical error has been vetoed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The school district claims to have inadvertently left one piece of paper out of its 2016-17 renewal of its school bus transportation contract. As a result, the state considered the contract void and ordered the $1.6 million in transportation aid it awarded the district that year returned. State Assemblyman and Minority Leader William Barclay’s bill would have legalized, validated, ratified and confirmed that contract, thereby entitling the Fulton City School District to its $1.6 million in state transportation aid.
