Gov. Kathy Hochul is reviving her push to restrict the wearing of masks in public, urging lawmakers in state budget talks to bring back some form of a previous ban, Gothamist has learned.

The Democratic governor told members of the state Assembly and Senate this week that some form of partial ban on public face coverings to improve public safety is among her top policy priorities, according to four lawmakers. The governor didn’t include masking restrictions in her formal budget proposal and hasn’t put forth details on what she wants, the lawmakers said.

Never forget, Trump was a New York Democrat before he entered politics proper. The single political thing he was most verbal about back then, and the single policy consistent among those he donated to, was gun control. Both sides of the aisle are committed to NOTHING, like they are committed to preventing the assassinations of any of their own, and the person they'll call a fascist traitor across the aisle 8 days a week is still 1000% more their own than you or I.
