She’s going to face a tough primary that she is only making harder for herself by trying to go to war with a popular mayor-elect who just defeated the centrist machine. She needs to make empty promises. What she should be doing is NYS single payer.

Surely there is a Nepo baby out there who can take this seat like Menendez replacing Sires!

Oh good a fight against MCDO and Mercer County.

A cultural shift would be great but I’d also just be happy if schools stayed open. My guess is the kids whose only meals are free breakfast and lunch also would be happy with that outcome.

NYS court already addressed religious excused absences in the 1980s, and consider it a reasonable accommodation.

If I have to explain to a client or employer that schools are closed, it’s excessive. Today closed early for *checks notes* parent teacher conference. Earlier this week they were closed for Election Day. If the city, state, and federal government are open, schools should be open.
