The Democrat-led New York state Legislature passed a constitutional amendment Wednesday that would allow for mid-decade redistricting in 2028.
While Republicans chastised the effort, Democrats defended it by pointing to action being taken in GOP-led states across the country.

The final week of the legislative session kicking off with @RepMikeLawler joining Assembly and Senate Republicans to oppose an impending set of constitutional ammendments intending to change NY’s redistricting process following Texas etc. Their message: NY Dems did it first
Deputy Sen. Majority Leader @SenGianaris says we may no longer be looking at multiple redistricting amendments— tells us to stay tuned as to what is in—and what if anything is out—under that arrangement expected to hit the floor later this week
.@JonCampbellNY asks @GovKathyHochul if she'd reverse a state policy barring state legislators from collecting paychecks until they pass a budget, she says "this is how it's been."
Adds she doesn't mind if her paycheck is also withheld (it's not under state law).
