One of the pet villains of this site, Kathryn Wylde of the New York City Partnership (now apparently calling herself “Kathy” to seem more of a woman of the people) has returned to her highest and best use: saying things on behalf of the rich and Big Finance that they’re too circumspect to say themselves. As we’ll see shortly, Wylde is doing her official water-carrying for the preservation of the standing of the well-off by launching an “alert” opposing New York State plans to raise taxes to shore up the city’s shaky finances.
Wylde has a history of telling howlers to defend the funders of her business lobby, as a quick gander through our archives show.

Since the start of their southbound migration from their high latitude feeding grounds, several sightings of emaciated gray whales have already been reported along their migration route.
This has raised concern among scientists that the unusual mortality event (UME, an unexpected phenomenon during which a significant number of a marine mammal population dies), that started in January 2019, and which so far has resulted in 378 confirmed gray whale deaths, and possibly many more unrecorded, is entering its third year.
