Assemblyman Scott Gray

If you represent a border community and vote for this legislation, it's difficult to explain why you would support the pre-9/11 approach of siloing law enforcement and banning inter-agency cooperation.

“This legislation strikes a practical balance: it allows continued development of critical digital infrastructure.” After reviewing this part of the sponsor’s memo, it is difficult to support a ban or a moratorium on data centers if you voted in favor of this legislation.

Today the Assembly is finally voting to raise the volunteer firefighter & EMS tax credit from $200 to $800. My colleague @JosephAngelino forced this fight last week on A.1064. Long overdue. To every volunteer in the 116th who answers the call: thank you.

Most of the climate fight is just political theater. The ratepayer crushed under it isn’t. The bill at your kitchen table? That’s real unaffordability caused by this political food fight. nytimes.com/2026/05/09/opi…

It was a privilege to welcome Major General Scott Naumann, Senior Commander of the 10th Mountain Division, and Garrison Commander Colonel Jason Adler to the Capitol today for Fort Drum’s day in Albany. Fort Drum is one of the most consequential economic and strategic assets in New York State, and the partnership between the installation, our soldiers and families, and surrounding North Country communities is what makes the mission possible. Grateful for their leadership and continued engagement with state government.

New Yorkers deserve better. A state budget should be delivered on time, with transparency, accountability, and respect for taxpayers. Missing the April 1 deadline is more than a procedural failure.

Silver lining-Rejoice, New Yorkers. The Majority now has precious little time left to pass all those bad bills stacking up on the calendar. Small mercies. "I have to try to pass all of the priority bills the members want in a month,” spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…

@AlexBGault This is a grave miscalculation, what a clown 🤡 show.

Trump has officially endorsed Anthony Constantino for #NY21, bucking the endorsements of most of the GOP committees this district and the state party as well.

The budget extender scheduled for a vote on Thursday at the Capitol will provide emergency appropriations through Monday, April 20. I've had bananas last longer.

Governors from 6 New England states have issued a joint statement supporting the continued operation of existing nuclear facilities and exploring opportunities for advanced nuclear energy across the region. They are directing state energy offices to evaluate pathways for potential deployment of advanced nuclear, including financing approaches and public-private partnerships. The focus is not only on new development, but also on maintaining reliable output from the existing nuclear fleet as electricity demand continues to grow across New England. Overall, this reflects growing state-level interest in nuclear energy as a firm, 24/7 carbon-free generation source to support grid reliability and long-term energy planning.

Government doesn’t belong in your driver’s seat. Period. zerohedge.com/political/mass…

@jeffkirkby Many already are on the move

@AndrewgrayS Correct. Wait til Wall St moves.

High taxes ➡️ people leaving, shrinks the tax base ➡️ raise taxes further. 🔄rinse and repeat It’s simple math, but one-party control in Albany keeps doubling down, eventually, you’d think someone would connect the ⏺️⏺️⏺️

Renewable energy projects rely on federal tax credits for about 30% of their funding, and losing those credits is considered by some to be an existential crisis. In contrast, the same said about New York’s nuclear plants Zero Emission Credits, it was an outrageous “bailout." It’s obvious that subsidies become problematic when they support energy sources do not favor. timesunion.com/capitol/articl…

Who has more influence: A town supervisor or an Assembly Republican?
