Marxist Muslim Ugandan NYC Mayoral Candidate Mamdani Now Only Single Digits Behind Cuomo

May 29, 2025 — bunkerville

Fast talking good looking Mayoral Candidate Mamdani for NYC, belies the truth of his agenda for the city. He was wise enough to rid himself of any foreign accent from Uganda. The attacks on Cuomo are starting in earnest. This is a race to be watched in earnest.

An update on Bunks Covid. My rocket ride with Covid seems to have taken a turn for the better and I am starting to see a light at the end of this nasty tunnel. Last week I had thought it had broken, but got stuck in a relapse. Thanks for all your prayers and concern. Still a long way to go.

Let’s update the NYC Mayors race.

From the New York Times:

The ballot order has been randomly chosen, and you almost have to wonder if the lottery balls were momentum-weighted. Atop the ballot will be Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman who has quickly risen to second place in public polls. The front-runner, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, will be listed sixth. Does ballot order matter? It didn’t seem to in 2021, when Aaron Foldenauer nabbed the top spot, and the eventual winner, Eric Adams, was listed ninth.

What, if anything, surprised you as you pulled together the data?

Well, Mamdani’s numbers are obviously pretty eye-popping. It’s not just that he has a lot of donors, or that he’s raised a lot of money — he’s also managed to reach voters in seemingly every corner of the city. There are neighborhoods where almost everyone who made a donation to any campaign donated to Mamdani. Like in Bushwick, there were a total of 785 donors who gave to Democrats, and 692 of them were Mamdani donors.

Four years ago we have his selling point of Rent Control for the city which no doubt is appealing with its high housing costs.

From an earlier post:

Socialist NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani leads a protest against the arrest of Newark’s Mayor for storming an ICE facility. Zohran Mamdani has said that migrants are “residents” of wherever they live and that “we will protect you.”

To say this candidate is a Socialist is being kind. Flying under the radar is this foreign Marxist Muslim Mayoral candidate that not enough attention is being given. Zohran Kwame Mamdani was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda.

The New York City primary Mayoral race is June 24. It is a jungle primary where voters select the top five candidates so anything can happen. As goes the Primary I suspect goes the General election. After all it is NYC.

Just a few weeks away. Mamdani is only single digits away from taking out Cuomo. Part from an earlier post.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda. Why am I not surprised? So far the race is shaping up for the leaders to be Cuomo, Progressive Landers and the Mamdani the Socialist. Cuomo is looking better, or rather, the last best hope. As of now there are seven candidates. It’s a jungle primary with the voter ranking the top 5 candidates. A few weeks to go until the primary election. Here is the Mamdani bio….

…. Taking that lesson with him, he went on to co-found his college’s first Students for Justice in Palestine chapter and later organize across the country with different progressive organizations seeking to win national elections as well as expand healthcare coverage. As life took its inevitable turns, with detours in film, rap, and writing, it was always organizing that ensured that the events of our world would not lead him to despair, but to action.

Zohran is proud to be the first South Asian man to serve in the NYS Assembly as well as the first Ugandan and only the third Muslim to ever be a member of the body. For too long, communities such as these have been left out of our state’s politics and priorities. Zohran will seek to amplify the voices of the preferably unheard across both the district and the state for as long as he remains in office.

So this Muslim foreigner thinks he has a good chance now at being the Mayor of New York City. The latest>

Here is a clip in his early career.

Zohran Mamdani is one of a handful of democratic socialists who will join the state Legislature next year. He joins us to talk about his plans for when he takes office in January.

Good luck NYC.

NYC Adams’ 4 Deputy Mayors Resign, Hochul Wants to Remove him

February 18, 2025 — bunkerville

This simple story of the Mayor of New York City has more twists and turns. Since he is up for re-election, one has to wonder why the voters aren’t left with the task of dispatching him, and why is Hochul determined to make him a cause celeb for herself. Then we have the twist of Trump stepping in and giving him a pass and pulling off the feds and their dogs.

Axios reports: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said she’s meeting with “key leaders” at her Manhattan office Tuesday to discuss a “path forward” after four top officials in NYC Mayor Eric Adams‘ administration resigned.

Why it matters: Hochul said in her Monday statement the resignation of First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer and the other officials “raises serious questions about the long-term future” of Adams’ administration and acknowledged she has the power to remove the mayor from office.

The big picture: Torres-Springer and deputy mayors Meera Joshi, Chauncey Parker and Anne Williams-Isom resigned after a top Justice Department official requested federal prosecutors drop federal bribery and fraud charges against the indicted mayor and Adams’ cooperation with the Trump administration on border security.

  • The mayor, who has denied any wrongdoing in the case and pleaded not guilty to all charges, has resisted pressure to resign.

Zoom in: Hochul noted that “in the 235 years of New York State history,” the governor’s power to remove an elected had never been used and that “overturning the will of the voters is a serious step that should not be taken lightly.”

New York Hochul Signs Bill Fining Oil and Gas Companies $75 Billion to Pay for Climate Damage

December 27, 2024 — bunkerville

If anyone had started thinking maybe New York State and City were getting some sense, fear not. The latest holiday signing of bills passed by Governor Hochul will not bring much merriment to the oil and gas industries. Vermont signed a similar bill last summer. A So called “Super Fund.”

“With nearly every record rainfall, heatwave, and coastal storm, New Yorkers are increasingly burdened with billions of dollars in health, safety, and environmental consequences due to polluters that have historically harmed our environment,” Governor Hochul said. “Establishing the Climate Superfund is the latest example of my administration taking action to hold polluters responsible for the damage done to our environment and requiring major investments in infrastructure and other projects critical to protecting our communities and economy.”

The Marxist bill was carried by Democrat Senator Liz Krueger and Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz.

“The Climate Change Superfund Act is now law, and New York has fired a shot that will be heard round the world: the companies most responsible for the climate crisis will be held accountable,” said Senator Krueger.

Reuters reported

New York state will fine fossil fuel companies a total of $75 billion over the next 25 years to pay for damage caused to the climate under a bill Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law on Thursday.

The law is intended to shift some of the recovery and adaptation costs of climate change from individual taxpayers to oil, gas and coal companies that the law says are liable. The money raised will be spent on mitigating the impacts of climate change, including adapting roads, transit, water and sewage systems, buildings and other infrastructure.

Fossil fuel companies will be fined based on the amount of greenhouse gases they released into the atmosphere between 2000 and 2018, to be paid into a Climate Superfund beginning in 2028. It will apply to any company that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation determines is responsible for more than 1 billion tons of global greenhouse gas emissions.

New York becomes the second state to pass such a law after Vermont passed its own version this summer. The laws are modeled after existing state and federal superfund laws that require polluters to pay to clean up toxic waste.

And she is not done either. If every state believed as New York, we would still be driving the horse and buggy.

Hochul signs bill banning CO2 fracking also.

 
 

This reminded me of an earlier boondoggle reported by Bunk. Here is part of it:

New York City cuts 1,000 trees to raise park 8-10 feet to address panic over 3mm sea level rise.

December 29, 2021

All for the mere sum of $1.45 Billion to start. De Blasio claims it’s the first project such as this done in the world. “Coastal Resiliency” is the new term for boondoggles that plunder the treasury in the name of climate change. East River Park is the lucky recipient of this destruction. No millionaires living here in the East River Park area. It is no Central park. But for these folks, it was their little piece of heaven. No second homes for them to escape the city.

East River Park Org:

New York City is demolishing our big, beloved park on the unwealthy side of the Lower East Side and East Village. Everything must go–shady lawns, picnic areas, ballfields, running track, amphitheater, the compost yard, historic buildings, and 1,000 trees, most 82 years old and healthy.

The city is going ahead with the massively destructive ESCR–East Side Coastal Resiliency project–even though there are alternatives that could preserve much of our park and provide flood control.

Under the current plan, the city will build a 1.2 mile wall along the water and cover the razed park with eight feet of fill. Eventually a new park will be built on top of this levee.

NY AG Letitia James Files Suit Against Largest Meat Producer for ‘Misleading Public’ Over Climate Impact

February 29, 2024 — bunkerville

AG Letitia James has discovered the Commercial Division of the New York Courts and she is just getting started. This is the same division that gave the works to Trump. No trial, but rather one crazy judge out to destroy and ordered Trump to come up with $454 Million Plus.

Reuters reported:

JBS the world’s largest beef producer, was sued on Wednesday by New York state’s attorney general, which accused it of misleading the public about its impact on the environment in order to boost sales.

Attorney General Letitia James said JBS USA Food Co, the Brazilian company’s American-based unit, has “no viable plan” to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, making its stated commitment to achieving that goal false and misleading.

James said JBS has admitted its “Net Zero by 2040” commitment did not incorporate the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions from its supply chain, including from deforestation in the Amazon.

She also said reaching the goal was “infeasible” given JBS’ plan to increase production and therefore its carbon footprint, on top of greenhouse gas emissions that had by 2021 exceeded those of the entire country of Ireland.

AG James:

“The lawsuit filed in a New York state court in Manhattan seeks a $5,000 civil fine per violation of state business laws, and to recoup ill-gotten gains from false sustainability claims.” – Reuters reported.

“I’m suing @JBSFoodsUSA, the world’s largest beef producer, for misleading the public about its environmental impact,” Letitia James said on X. “The beef industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change, and JBS has falsely advertised its commitment to sustainability and endangered our planet.”

We had a complete reveal of the quality of the judges with Judge Arthur Engoron who meted out the justice for Trump in the same Commercial Division that does not permit jury trials.

What does the Commercial Division do?
 
The Commercial Division manages cases which raise factually and legally complex issues. Cases involve everything from claims for repayment of loans, property disputes, building disputes to tax and superannuation matters, family trusts and claims for breach of contract. (Oct 29, 2023)
 
 
UPDATE: Now the latest news on this Judicial nightmare of the court regarding Trump

A New York appellate judge rejected an emergency request yesterday from Donald Trump to post a $100 million bond while appealing what he called an “exorbitant and punitive” $454 million fraud judgment against him.

State Attorney General Letitia James opposed Trump’s request and asked for the former president to have to post the entire judgment, to ensure the state would be paid if he loses his appeal.

Judge Anil Singh of the state court’s Appellate Division ruled Trump has to post a bond for the entire judgment and that his three-year prohibition against running a corporation in New York would remain in force. However, he did allow Trump’s two adult sons to run the Trump Organization while the appeal is considered, despite the trial imposing a similar prohibition on Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. The business prohibition also bars him from getting loans from financial institutions chartered or registered in the state.

Who is Justice Singh?

Justice Singh is foreign born, and hailing from India. Justice Singh is a 1986 graduate of Antioch School of Law in Washington, D.C. The year Antioch School of Law closed up shop as it was known. The Law School was known for its radicalism.

Established in 1972, with an open-admissions policy, the Antioch School of Law offered mostly low-income Black students an opportunity to obtain a quality post-secondary education, while advocating on behalf of their communities. Source

On Tuesday, April 7, 2015, Justice Anil C. Singh of the New York Supreme Court was appointed to the New York County Commercial Division.  According to his judicial biography, Justice Singh is a 1986 graduate of Antioch School of Law in Washington, D.C.

Justice Singh joined eight other Justices on the New York County Commercial Division bench. Source: JDSUPRA

Between Judge Singh and Judge Arthur Engoron and Letticia James, any business better get out of Dodge, or as Mr. Wonderful so aptly said below in the clip. This before the latest beef from AG James.

Judge Finds Trump Guilty Before His NY Trial In October UPDATE

September 27, 2023 — bunkerville

What Is a Summary Judgment? A summary judgment is a decision made based on statements and evidence without going to trial. It’s a final decision by a judge and is designed to resolve a lawsuit before going to court.

In this case, Trump received “Partial Summary Judgement” in his New York Case meaning what’s left for the most part for the Bench trial is the amount of penalties in his trial due to begin October 2.  This meaning that it will be a judge versus a jury trial.

So no bank lost any money, Trump paid all his payments on time, and still the government found fault? Does anyone believe that the banks had no good idea what his properties were worth?

Overstating the value would have increased his insurance rates and property taxes. The banks have the fiduciary responsibility to have the properties appraised.

Then they chose to give him loans anyway? Actually I read that they had done appraisals. Where are the charges against the banks and their appraisers?

Now Trump is done in New York. Let’s see how much damage the judge can cause him. $250. Million is what they were asking last I heard. This was suppose to be the “nothing case.”

UPDATE: Donald J. TrumpImage

Here we go:

Former President Donald Trump submitted “fraudulent valuations” for assets that were then used by himself, his eldest sons and his business to obtain better loan and insurance terms, a judge in New York decided Tuesday before ordering the cancelation of the company’s business certificates in New York.

The judge’s determination came as he granted partial summary judgment in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ multimillion-dollar civil fraud lawsuit.

Judge Arthur Engoron cites “false and misleading square footage” of Trump’s Fifth Avenue apartment among other faulty valuations.

The judge immediately canceled all of the defendants’ business certificates in New York, and ordered that they must recommend no more than three potential independent receivers to manage the dissolution of the canceled LLCs within 10 days.

The move severely restricts Trump’s ability to conduct business in New York going forward.

New York to Give Preference to Minorities in Receiving Covid Antivirals and Monoclonal Antibodies

January 3, 2022 — bunkerville

One more reason to leave New York. This one is unconscionable. One could reasonably ask why productions of these drugs have not been stepped up. The same question regarding testing. What this leaves of course is rationing. Something the Progressives have had in mind since the Obama days.

There have been rumbles about healthcare for minorities receiving preference. This one takes it to a new level. If anyone thinks it will stop here, think again. Denying treatment based on ethnicity is a slippery slope. Age and disability will be next on the list.

New York Post:

New York City’s and state’s departments of health have reached a divisive and destructive low. In new guidelines rationing scarce, lifesaving oral antiviral medications and the one monoclonal antibody preparation that is effective against the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, they instruct providers to “consider race and ethnicity” and give preference to those who are “Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.” These directives are immoral, illegal and bear no relation to the science.

The city’s Health Advisory #39 directs providers to adhere to the state Department of Health’s prioritization guidance for utilization of these COVID-19 treatments that are in short supply. It asks providers to consider whether patients are immunocompromised, their age, their vaccine status and the number of risk factors (medical conditions) they have for severe illness.

The problem with the state’s guidance is the instruction that “nonwhite race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.” Hence, all other risk factors such as age, immune, and vaccination status being equal, “nonwhite” and “Hispanic/Latino” patients will be granted superior treatment access compared with whites.

The race-based approach in treatment has already begun to have real-world consequences. One Staten Island doctor said he filled two prescriptions for Paxlovid this week and was asked by the pharmacist to disclose the race of his patients before the treatment was authorized.

“In my 30 years of being a physician I have never been asked that question when I have prescribed any treatment,” said the doctor, who requested anonymity. “The mere fact of having to ask this question is a slippery slope.”

This approach is not uncommon for the Progressives and harkens back to the days of Obama.

Recall this? Kidney Patients told to accept death, forgo Dialysis –  Asking Kidney Patients to Forgo a Free Lifeline

As they calmly say:

“It was meant to keep young and middle-aged people alive and productive, many of the patients who take advantage of the law are old…  Full story: New York Times

Kidney specialists are pushing doctors to be more forthright with elderly people who have other serious medical conditions, to tell the patients that even though they are entitled to dialysis, they may want to decline such treatment and enter a hospice instead. In the end, it is always the patient’s choice. But for how much longer?

One idea, promoted by leading specialists, is to change the way doctors refer to the decision to forgo dialysis. Instead of saying that a patient is withdrawing from dialysis or agreeing not to start it, these specialists say the patient has chosen “medical management without dialysis”.  ”That is the preferred term,” said Nancy Armistead, executive director of the Mid-Atlantic Renal Coalition, a Medicare contractor that collects data and patient grievances.

Obama:

“Our approach lowers the government’s health care bills by reducing the cost of health care itself,” Obama said. Really? The only way that will happen is by rationing. You may not like the use of the phrase “death panel,” but make no mistake about it — at the end of your life, in Barack Obama’s America, his death panel will throw you under the bus in a way much closer to reality than metaphor. At  RedState

Here is the old “Maybe it’s better just to take the pain pill.”

Here we have Robert Reich, formerly in the Obama Administration. Note the applause from the audience.

Schumer smug about Texas? New York has to import Nat Gas from Russia

February 23, 2021 — bunkerville

 

Schumer preens about, so full of himself that Texas is in a bad place due to the severe cold that caused the energy crisis this past week. Be careful Chuck. You and your pal Cuomo have put New York in the same boat for a potential disaster. New York and other New England States dependent on Russia for energy.

An excellent example of just what has been allowed to happen that puts Americans at risk by a few nitwits.

Even the Boston Globe opined that “Massachusetts’ reliance on imported gas from one of the world’s most threatened places is also a severe indictment of the state’s inward-looking environmental and climate policies.”

Previous posts on the situation in New York, the latest from the eco-terrorists:

For eight years, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has capitulated to the eco-left. From preventing the construction of needed pipelines to banning fracking, he has implemented an extreme environmentalist agenda.

Now, the consequences of those decisions are hitting New York residents hard.

Earlier, it was reported how New York is facing shortages of natural gas, even though it has plentiful shale reserves and shares a border with Pennsylvania, a state that also has shale reserves. As the Wall Street Journal noted, “The reason for the shortage is obvious: The Cuomo administration has repeatedly blocked or delayed new pipeline projects. As a Con Ed spokesman put it, there is a ‘lot of natural gas around the country, but getting it to New York has been the strain.’”

 

 

It seems New York has a partial solution – import liquefied natural gas from Russia.

That’s right, instead of permitting pipelines and fracking to get access to domestic natural gas, New York is importing energy from across the world – and from a geopolitical rival to boot.

Chuck DeVore, Vice President of the Texas Public Policy Foundation explains, “And, while Gov. Cuomo continues to obstruct new pipelines, generating political goodwill from some, his state’s policies, combined with a 99-year-old law that bans foreign vessels from shipping cargo between U.S. ports, result in the importation of liquified natural gas (LNG) from Russia and Trinidad and Tobago—rather than Pennsylvania or Texas.”

Moratorium on New Yorkers getting more hookups to energy.

The New York Post says lawmakers are confused by Cuomo’s claim they get to decide on the Williams pipeline. In an editorial, the Wall Street Journal says Cuomo blocking the pipeline and then blaming National Grid for the moratorium is “another parable of how the political campaign to ban fossil fuels is detached from energy and economic reality.”

Read more

Yes… this is how it works New Yorkers:

“To add additional service would pose a risk to the integrity of our system and compromise natural gas use for our existing 1.8 million customers in New York City and on Long Island,” said Karen Young, the National Grid spokesperson. The result is that, while existing customers are unaffected, those attempting to get a new hookup are denied new service.

“…Mr. Cuomo has ordered the utility National Grid to resume natural-gas hookups that were suspended after his senseless pipeline veto this spring.”

Guess how this will end. Let’s connect these dots. One doesn’t need to be a Mensa candidate.

What happens when you don’t add any new supply lines?  Taken from an earlier post

New York has to get energy from Russia thanks to Cuomo and the eco-left

Andrew Yang sues over the cancellation of NY Democrat primary

April 29, 2020 — bunkerville

 

Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang is suing the New York State Board of Elections over their decision to cancel the Democratic presidential primary.

Nothing like seeing the Democrats get their knickers in a knot. If New York is anything like our state, there are numerous other candidates on the primary ballot as well as “questions” to be approved or disapproved. How about the opportunity for “write in” candidates? No doubt removal of Sanders name would take the starch out of Sanders voters and “suppress the turnout”…….. smile here..  🙂 This will not cancel the primary itself.

Then what happens to his delegates?  Therein lies the mystery and and intrigue begins as many wonder if and when the democrats will dump Biden.

The canceling of the primary – which was originally scheduled to be held Tuesday before being postponed to June 23 — complicates the delegate selection process as there were 274 convention delegates at stake in New York’s primary. While it’s clear Biden’s the presumptive nominee, there are other things — like party platform and rules –that delegates vote on at conventions.

“Any substantive change to a state’s first determining step in allocating delegates like this one will need to be reviewed by the DNC’s Rules and By-Laws Committee,” David Bergstein, a Democratic National Committee spokesman, told Fox News. “Once the state party submits an updated selection plan on how they plan on allocating delegates, the committee will look at that plan and make a determination.”

The lawsuit, filed on Monday, argues that Yang should be kept on the ballot as he has met all the requirements and did not ask to be removed. Yang and seven other New Yorkers who filed to serve the former candidate as delegates to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) are the plaintiffs of the suit, as well as Jonathan Herzog, a longshot contender running against Democratic New York Congressman Jerry Nadler.

Yang’s removal “denies voters due process and denies voters the right to vote, and therefore must be invalidated removing the authority for the Defendant to take the actions complained of herein,” they wrote in the suit, first reported by Politico.

Yang criticized New York’s presidential primary cancelation in the lawsuit. It would be “suppressing voter turnout as voters will have less incentive to vote if they cannot cast a vote for the highest office in the land, and thereby negatively impact challenger candidates,” he wrote.

Sanders’ campaign has also condemned the decision and called for it to be overturned.

H/T: Newsweek

Meanwhile Biden is being held hostage by his wife, yes, I can see why Sanders wants to hang on to his delegates.

Other than that, all is well in the swamp.

New York’s scary new ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ guidelines for heart attack patients

April 24, 2020 — bunkerville

 

Don’t have a heart attack in New York if you want to live to tell about it. Wonder no longer why the cause of death statistics in New York have taken a dramatic shift.

Under new guidelines issued by the state Health Department, paramedics finding people in a state of cardiac arrest without a heartbeat are not supposed to go through the usual routines of attempting to restart the patient’s heart and respiration. In other words, assuming you are seen by an EMT who is following this guideline, once you’re dead you’re supposed to politely remain on your trip to the afterlife.

While paramedics were previously told to spend up to 20 minutes trying to revive people found in cardiac arrest, the change is “necessary during the COVID-19 response to protect the health and safety of EMS providers by limiting their exposure, conserve resources, and ensure optimal use of equipment to save the greatest number of lives,’’ according to a state Health Department memo issued last week.

First responders were outraged over the move.

“They’re not giving people a second chance to live anymore,’’ Oren Barzilay, head of the city union whose members include uniformed EMTs and paramedics, fumed of state officials.

Particularly in New York City, this isn’t the first such policy change to be issued. The Regional Emergency Services Council of New York (which is responsible for overseeing ambulance services in the Big Apple) issued an even more stern directive. Cardiac patients whose hearts could not be restarted on the scene are no longer supposed to be taken to a hospital “for further life-saving attempts.” Read more at Hot Air

Cuomo continues to get rave reviews in his handling of the virus, yet in typical progressive fashion his value of human life is questionable. Earlier post:

Nursing homes and retirement communities now death traps – over 7,000 COVID deaths

New York to Allow Accused Criminals to Look at Own Crime Scenes, Quickly Obtain Witness Names

December 30, 2019 — bunkerville

 

If we thought the New York law that goes into effect on January 1 was just a get out of jail  free card, think again. Talk about giving the criminals the keys to the city and all its treasures this is sure one. Who is going to be willing to testify either as a victim or a witness? Here it is:

The state of New York will soon allow accused criminals to inspect their own crime scenes and will quickly provide them with a complete list of named witnesses testifying against them as part of a series of new jailbreak laws.

As Breitbart News reported, New York’s bail reforms, set to go into effect January 2020, will ensure that suspects accused of crimes deemed “non-violent” are not jailed before their trial dates and do not have to post bail. Instead, these suspects are released directly back into the public and expected to show up for their court dates. Roughly 125,000 accused criminals are expected to be released from prison every year in the state.

Those so-called non-violent crimes include second-degree manslaughter, aggravated vehicular assault, promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child, criminally negligent homicide, and aggravated vehicular homicide.

Another portion of the law will more quickly give defendants a full list of named witnesses testifying against them in the criminal trial. Starting in January, the prosecution will be forced to hand over to defendants a list of named witnesses within 15 days of the defendants’ arraignment.

In June, the Manhattan Institute’s Seth Barron and Ralf Mangual wrote that such a provision will make it impossible for prosecutors to ensure witnesses are protected through the criminal trial process:

Prosecutors will no longer be able to assure witnesses that their identity will be protected, even in the case of grand jury testimony, which the new law will now require be disclosed. (While there’s a provision to ask a judge for a protective order to shield a name, that would come after cops and prosecutors talk to witnesses to make an arrest and build a case.) [Emphasis added]
