Oof. Onondaga County executive vetoes law that would enact term limits for his office and no longer allow him to fill legislative vacancies. There are likely not enough votes to override.

Hey @morelle.house.gov why am I getting mailers supporting you from a "pro-AI" superPAC funded by Marc Andreessen, OpenAI, and Palantir?

Think Big PAC sent out a ginormous mailer for @morelle.house.gov Maybe the most expensive mailer we’ve ever seen in this area. This is a pro-AI PAC that is boosting Dems against regulation. So there’s that.

We must sustain the progress made at East under the U of R partnership. Also, welcome to the Rochester International Academy - it will be great to have the school as a neighbor.

Outdoor watch parties are such a good idea. This kind of thing could have replaced the city's walled-off security plan that made the East End feel desolate. Festivals + people + security = great, healthy nightlife

This is a great video of what Dems should stand for

I just realized Morelle has a red box on his website. I added to the footnotes.

I think it's great WROC still gives candidates a platform if their opponent refuses to debate. Voters deserve to hear from candidates.

Reporters should now ask Morelle where he stands on data-center moratoriums, federal preemption of state AI laws, deepfakes beyond pornography, AI products that target children, and worker protections related to AI-driven job loss. rachbarnhart.substack.com/p/what-does-...

The law would have established three four-year terms for a county executive.
