Measure ULA supporters, including the oversight board, claimed that the transfer tax has already "created 10,000 union construction jobs."
UCLA professor Mike Manville looked at the basis for this number and found out that it's bullshit: each “job” represents 19 potential future work days.

How did an ‘implausible’ claim about jobs created by LA’s ‘mansion tax’ get cited by watchdogs?
A committee tasked with oversight of the city’s controversial tax said it has created 10,000 union construction jobs. LAist tracked down the claim’s origins.

This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it.
But most people won't believe that for several good reasons.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.
The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

I thought he was just a guy from LI who didn't want to have to live in NYC under Mamdani. I was wrong, he's from NYC. He has financial ties to Israel and no firefighting experience (he was appointed last summer and uhm a lot was going on). From wikipedia.
![In 1999 Tucker became chairman and CEO of T&M Protection Resources, a company specializing in security, intelligence and investigations.[4][5] In 2007 Tucker restructured T&M as a limited liability company and sold a minority interest to Pegasus Capital Advisors as well as another private investor.[6]
In 2008 Tucker and Pegasus commenced a plan to invest jointly in acquisitions of security companies in Israel which has resulted in T&M's subsidiary, T&M Holding Israel Ltd, becoming one of the largest security and janitorial service companies in the country with over 7,000 employees.[7]
Tucker was appointed FDNY fire commissioner by New York City Mayor Eric Adams on August 12, 2024. Six weeks before Tucker was appointed FDNY commissioner, eight employees of Tucker’s former business made political contributions to Adams on the same day.[8] Tucker has never been a firefighter or emergency response official. He is a self-described "fire buff" who cites his time as a young boy chasing fire engines as inspiration for his service.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tbezmmltvdtjthfeaftfoop6/bafkreibvudxo6p54clvc756ilfhiptcxdisgtzzglmxpdkfjavp36vslie@jpeg)

Senate Democrats about to roll over. Goddamnit.
This is pathetic - to give in over "a promised vote" - but this is what they were always going to do.
"A handful of Democrats will supply some eight votes for a new short-term CR in exchange for a promised vote on the ACA tax credits."
They are gonna trust the GOP.🤡
