Assemblywoman and club member Carrie Woerner was our speaker on Thursday, noting passage of the $221 billion state budget.
Unlike state senators and members of Congress, she knows what the lines of her new Assembly district will look like (and it still includes Malta). State courts have ruled the new Senate and congressional lines were enacted in a partisan manner in violation of the state constitution, so the shape of those districts remains up in the air. The Assembly lines held up, Carrie said, because that chamber's Democratic majority consulted with Republicans in drawing up the new districts.
She discussed other matters more or less controversial, ending with a pitch for her New York Textile Act.
