NY governor presses banks, insurers to weigh risk of NRA ties
Reuters/Brendan McDermidNew York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaks during an announcement at The Moynihan Train Hall in New York City, U.S., August 17, 2017. It is certainly telling, however, that even after the lessons of 2016 have been learned, Cuomo and most other Democrats still feel the need to pander to the mosaic of aggrieved groups that make up the fractured base of their party.
The move effectively grants conditional pardons to existing parolees and directs state officials to submit a monthly list of new parolees to be considered.
A Friday, April 20 press conference at the Beach 73 Street Y in Arverne By the Sea featured a groundswell of opposition for Governor Andrew Cuomo and his policies regarding renewable energy as TV star Cynthia Nixon was on hand to pledge her commitment to take on all corporations perpetuating the distribution of fossil fuel products. So it's only right that their franchise be restored when the state sees fit to release them from prison.
The governor directed New York's Department of Financial Services to urge state-chartered banks and the more than 1,400 insurers it regulates to review whether their ties to the NRA and similar groups sends the "wrong message" to clients and communities. "I'm going to make it law by executive order".

Partisan Farm Bill Vote Shouldn't Worry Agriculture
Senate Agriculture Committee ranking member Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich. has been a longtime supporter of conservation and touted the increases in the last farm bill.
The move adds NY to a list of more than a dozen states and the District of Columbia that give convicted felons the right to vote once they have completed their prison sentences.
The people in question are those convicted of a felony but out on parole. "Humorist Jason O'Gilbert satirized the governor: "'I am absolutely not anxious about Cynthia Nixon, ' Governor Cuomo announced in a Black Lives Matter hoodie as he legalized drinking in public parks". Two states, ME and Vermont, have no felony disenfranchisement laws and even allow felons to vote while in prison, said Morgan McLeod, spokeswoman for The Sentencing Project, a non-profit advocacy group for criminal justice reform.
"Now he's scared of communities all across NY who want to replace him with a real Democrat", Nixon said in a statement. "Governor Cuomo has worked for years on a variety of initiatives aimed at increasing opportunities to vote and removing barriers to re-entry and community reintegration", a representative from the governor's office told The Intercept. Myrna Perez, deputy director of the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School, called it "an enormous step forward".
"We don't buy the Governor's new song-and-dance routine", she added.
