In roughly three weeks, the New York state legislature will vote on Bill A416, which will give the New York governor (in this case, the power-mad Kathy Hochul), as well as the governor’s delegates (i.e., New York’s administrative state) the power to indefinitely detain anyone the governor or her agencies deem a “significant threat to public health.” (snip) the governor has the power to “order the removal and/or detention of such a person or of a group of such persons” with just a single order (reasonably specific) to detain people “in a medical facility or other appropriate facility or premises....”

New York State is a concentration camp. I escaped 50 years ago and have never regretted it.

Hochel is the second coming of St.Cuomo and she has a 100% demonrat legislature to back her up. This is what stupid NY voters foisted on the state.

Keep it up. Pretty soon NY will have the same number of House reps as Wyoming.

I've seen a lot of California plates around here. I would guess the population of New York may decrease as well. Eventually everyone will get sick and tired of it.

New York State is different than New York City. NYC is the only reason we are saddled with D-RAT "leadership". The only other cesspools of liberalism are the big cities like Buffalo and Albany. Also, the reason the Conservative counties (like mine) are forced to go along with this insanity is because if they don't the state withholds monies. It is like being imprisoned by the insane running the asylum. There needs to be a "call to arms" but we as a people have become too frightened by the Government. The Founder's idea was to have the Government frightened of the people. We are in deep trouble.

Same thing we experience in Illinois, #11. The Illinois that I live in is right in the center of dark red Trump country - my county is even a 2A sanctuary county - but thanks to Chicago, we have no representation at the state or federal level.

Unbeknown to them - - these lunatic commies have just provided a way to clean up the "homeless" problem.
Thanks, boys and girls - - for the unintended consequences.

Will give Conrad Hochul governor for life status and New York will become the next California basket case. Oh my gosh, we are surrounded!

The people of NY seem to think they are smarter and better than the rest of the country, except for California. The 'elites" show how stupid they really are. Comply or get locked up.

This is how you legalize the wholesale taking of political prisoners, no warrants, no trial, no justification needed, just like they do it in places like China, Cuba or Venezuela.
This could very well be the birth of a whole new level of tyranny that will undoubtedly spread across Blue State America.

And the New York Jews will still continue to vote these fools into office and cede them more power against their self-interest..
Who are the real anti-Semites, Trump or them?

If given this power, the governor could also declare that any one opposed to 'global warming' is also a danger to the health and safety of society and that person or group could be arrested and detained in a concentration camp.

This woman, Kathy Hochul, is a sick freakin puppy. New York, like California get what they voted for. As bad as De Blasio is as mayor, these illiterates in NYC voted him in TWICE, same goes for AOC, they voted her in. Sickening and appalling.

Note to self: Never again go to New York, pass through New York or buy products made in New York. They get away with murder there and ignore the Constitution and all amendments.

The iconic lakerman )that would be me) immediately warned you people, when Kathy Hochul ascendeds to the throne in Albany to expect bad things from her.The poor little rich girl fell into a House gerrymandered seat due to a peculiar wet of circumances and dumb voters, but served just one term.
The voters wised up.
She fits the dimocrat mode of NY, where government is no more limited than mussolini's was. We in Pennsylvania deal with the stench of NY every day. She is Kirsten Gillibrand without the weight problem, who will say or do whatever is bubbling in the Empire State/
Now if someone would give her a makeover, deleting a ton of makeup, and force her to obtain an age appropriate hairstyle, she might be diverted from the look of Baby Jane.

The “Escape From New York” scenario comes closer and closer to reality, but I think Snake Plisken is close to retirement. Looks like your screwed, NYC.

So, this is the route that they have selected to their totalitarian control. "Health threat".....now anyone you just don't like is deemed a "health threat" and whisked off to permanent "hospitalization".....until they conveniently die, probably.
