It's Up To You, NY

This GOP bill would take health care away from 2.7 million New Yorkers, and cost state taxpayers $6.9 billion in additional costs.

It’s a cynical ploy that affects all New Yorkers and will be the biggest blow to health care in our state’s history. Worse still, Congressmen Chris Collins and John Faso have proposed an amendment that hurts New Yorkers even more and is against the interest of their constituents and all New Yorkers.

A piece of ice dropped from my NYC window this morning, so it must mean that Spring and the warm weather is here to stay... Not so fast, folks!

Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and its the equinox. The Spring equinox is significant because, after a long and dark winter, the hours of day and night are equal for the first time this year – about 12 hours each.

Here comes the sun, but as it crosses over the equator Monday on its way north toward the Tropic of Cancer, it marks the vernal equinox — the official beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
