Tell Governor Hochul: Extend the Comment period for Data Center Regulation Governor Hochul has quietly released her plan for how data centers would be regulated in the state. She has done no public engagement and only gave 30 days for us to submit public comments which ends 10/20 (today!) With the lack of any meaningful public engagement, a single month was not enough time for such an important issue for New Yorkers across the state. Use this tool to send a public comment

Onondaga County Ballot Referendums There will be two referendums on the back of the ballot for Onondaga County this year. This November, voters will have to turn over their ballots and decide: Do they want the county executive’s and comptroller’s term capped at 12 years, 16 years or not at all. If neither reaches a majority of voters, there will be no term limits. Otherwise, the one with more votes in favor will become law. Read more here
