Legislators from New York’s Assembly and state Senate struck a deal Tuesday to strip Gov. Andrew Cuomo of his pandemic-linked emergency powers and return matters like lockdowns to local control.

The deal would reverse emergency powers granted to Cuomo exactly a year ago, in the early days of the COVID pandemic, that gave him free rein to order measures like quarantines.

    I am confused. What does it mean that they struck a “deal”? Is there a majority who want Cuomo to have these draconian powers, but we need to make a “deal” to get them to vote to strip him of those powers? I pray that is not the case…

    Well he can’t pass laws if lawmakers don’t have his back
