[NYPOST] Top Democrats in the state Legislature are taking steps to strip Gov. Andrew SonnyCuomo ![]() The agreement on a bill stripping Cuomo of the powers was forged between state Sen. Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Yonkers) and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-The Bronx). Once passed by both houses of the Legislature it would immediately repeal the powers granted to Cuomo last March to largely control state response to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ![]() , presently set to sunset on April 30. That vote could come as soon as Friday. The legislation would also bar Cuomo from creating new emergency directives without a sign off from legislative leaders and relevant committee chairs and would only allow the extension of existing directives if they are directly tied to managing the pandemic. The deal would allow some of the existing directives to continue, such as the statewide mask order.

#1 I'll wager it's a concern to the Dem faithful how quickly his support collapsed. Presidential candidate, Emmy award winner, book author, hero of the hour to white whale doo-doo. |
