However, enough people might be sick of Warren's incompetence, and think that Eric will be the same way. Of course, OTOH, too many voters here vote slavishly down the Party Line. |

I think if the NY senate were based closer to one per county rather than the current "Assembly lite" setup, it would probably have prevented the worst aspects of bail reform (at the very least count property damage over a certain amount and assault as violent crimes eligible for bail and/or let judges have discretion). Even Cuomo was running up against the law he signed. |

One per county would not withstand a one person one vote based proportional representation constitutional challenge. The current bail law has serious flaws, but like so many other American traditions, we support the idea of majority rule, until we are in the minority. elect clowns, get circus |

Even if the high pop counties got 2 state senators it would be better.I get it, progressives want things. But being forced to compromise with a contingent that wants to not change things results in saner policy. NYS's gun control (unpopular opinion) that had to pass an (R) Senate is good. I think if the policies used for non-NYC area counties were nation-wide we'd get something that actually works (shall issue for handguns, which account for most of the crime, 10 round mag limits for everything including rifles, and storage requirements). The restrictions against AR-15 style rifles are dumb, but are essentially irrelevant. |

And has been found unconstitutional.Hopefully the legislature will see the error of its ways and broaden the definition of the term "violent" for which the get-out-of-jail-free card does not apply. |

One house of the state legislature should be georgraphic as now, and the other should be PR like the Israeli Knesset. |

I responded before reading your second paragraph, but I disagree with the AR-15 ban. How the fuck do pistol grips and bayonet mounts make an AR-15 more dangerous? |

Posted by Spider-Pig on Fri Jun 25 12:33:36 2021, in response to Re: Mayor McCheese?, posted by AlM on Fri Jun 25 12:31:03 2021. I mentioned Hamilton County because the NY Constitution lumps it in with Fulton County for determining the number of senators, and formerly lumped it in with Fulton into a single assembly district. There also is no Supreme Court in and for Hamilton County, with cases otherwise venued in Hamilton being brought in Fulton. |

I used Hamilton County because Henry mentioned the idea of one or two senators per county, and Google told me that Hamilton County had about 4,500 residents, while Brooklyn had 2.6 million. |
