North Country legislators in the state Senate and Assembly have been waiting for the day they can rescind Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s emergency powers for the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday, they may get their chance.
On Tuesday, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie created a bill to strip Cuomo of his emergency powers. The two chambers may vote on it as early as Friday.
