Blakeman unloads on ‘selfish’ Rep. Elise Stefanik as NY GOP points fingers after election drubbing

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman unloaded on outgoing Rep. Elise Stefanik Thursday – one day after the upstate congresswoman called his failed gubernatorial campaign “low energy.” Blakeman tore into his fellow Republican Party member for not doing more to help GOP candidates win and called her career lackluster in the aftermath of his Election Day drubbing at the hands of incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul. “Elise Stefanik is a selfish, do nothing politician that didn’t lift a finger to help Republican candidates in New York this year,” Blakeman wrote on X. Failed NY GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is firing back at Elise Stefanik after the outgoing congresswoman criticized his campaign. Dennis A. Clark for NY Post “She had one moment of glory in what was otherwise an unremarkable career,” he added without elaborating. Stefanik then fired off a subtle burn back at her almost-primary opponent Blakeman by noting she had never lost an election. “I know feelings are raw in the aftermath of Tuesday’s result so I will cut some slack because while I don’t know from experience, as I have never lost any of my seven elections, I know that this is a tough loss in NY and I

Nassau County's transgender athlete ban overturned

(The Center Square) — A New York appeals court has struck down Nassau County's ban on athletes born male competing in girls' and women's sports. The ruling by the New York Appellate Division, Second Department, declared the Long Island county's law that bars transgender women and girls from participating in women’s sports at county-run facilities is illegal because it violates the state's Human Rights Law and Civil Rights Law prohibiting efforts to restrict access to places of public accommodation "based on a person’s gender identity or expression, including whether the person identifies as transgender.” "Although a local government is constitutionally empowered to enact local laws relating to the welfare of its citizens through its police power, it is prohibited from exercising that power through the adoption of local laws that are inconsistent with the New York State Constitution or any general law of the state," the panel of judges wrote in the three-page ruling. The decision, which is expected to be appealed, stems from a lawsuit filed by the New York chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, which claimed the restrictions signed into a law in 2024 by Nassau County Chief Executive Bruce Blakeman in July violated the state's
