Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?

Hochul needs to bite back big time at NY schools chief Betty Rosa’s blackmail bid

State Education Commissioner Betty Rosa is trying to pull off a nasty bit of blackmail; Gov. Kathy Hochul can make her pay for it — and strike a blow for high-quality education at the same time. Rosa this week issued a public “poverty” plea, claiming the state’s multibillion-dollar school system can’t afford to implement her new, hopelessly watered-down standards for high school graduation without a fresh cash bath. It’s classic Albany extortion: Cry broke to milk taxpayers for more dough. Problem is, Hochul is already on record doubting the value of Rosa’s scheme, and even wishing for more power to stop it. Over 100 NYS school officials raked in $300K last year — and 174 made more than Hochul And Rosa (at least rhetorically) just handed her that power: The gov can now use the coming budget negotiations to explicitly defund the transition. The scheme is terrible : Gone is any need to pass the Regents exams that have been the hallmark of a top-notch New York education for over a century; in are meaningless “assessments” and “portfolios” that will make it easier than ever for cynical administrators to graduate kids with utterly worthless diplomas. Empire State taxpayers already cough

USDA announces potential changes to SNAP, drawing criticism from New Yorkers

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The United States Department of Agriculture recently proposed a change to how households can qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. If enacted, it will limit eligibility for families who automatically received SNAP because of their enrollment in other programs, a process known as categorical eligibility. Instead of being able to qualify for multiple programs with one application, families might have to interview for each one separately.
