We agree with Majority Leader
@AndreaSCousins
that the separation of powers in state government is critical and cannot be undermined. The Governor must put forth a new Chief Judge nominee with a strong record of defending the rights and liberties of everyday New Yorkers.

Uniquely strong statement from ASC, who calls out Gov. Kathy Hochul’s argument against the Judiciary committee’s decision as “a dangerous infringement,” but does not mention the governor by name.

Proud of all colleagues who have publicly made it clear that they will vote NO on Judge LaSalle’s nomination. People who aren’t values aligned & make that clear through their actions, shouldn’t be supported. It’s not difficult to do the right thing here.

After a careful review of the nominee, I am forced to conclude Judge LaSalle would be regressive on issues impacting women’s rights, labor issues, and climate change. I will be a 'no' on Judge LaSalle. syracuse.com/politics/2022/

Deeply disappointed in the Governor's nomination of someone with a clear anti-union, fundamentally conservative record on the bench to be Chief Judge of the New York State Court of Appeals. I'm a hard no on Justice LaSalle's nomination.

Thank you to the 45+ law professors who signed this letter expressing concern about Justice LaSalle's record, and to
@SamMellins

@nynurses
Approx. 17k NYSNA nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals have union contracts expiring on Dec. 31. However, management continues to resist when it comes to safe staffing, fair wages & maintaining quality health benefits. That’s why nurses have begun strike vote authorization.

🧵"The big rail carriers have already made it clear that they only care about making massive profits, not the safety & health of workers. Why should #rail execs & members of Congress have paid sick time, but rail workers don’t get a single paid sick day?" - #Teamsters Gen. Pres.

@TeamsterSOB
Members of Congress have an opportunity to fight for their constituents by making sure rail workers get paid sick days. Any politicians who don’t side with workers need to go on the record that they voted against workers.

Governor Kathy Hochul
@GovKathyHochul
In New York, health care providers were able to put patients' homes on the line due to their medical debt. With the legislation I signed today, we're putting an end to this harmful practice. No New Yorker should fear losing their home just because they get sick.
