Thank you for joining this week’s episode of the Albany Update.

The drama surrounding Justice Hector LaSalle, Gov. Kathy Hochul’s pick for Chief Judge, came to a conclusion as the State Senate allowed a floor vote for the nominee. Nevertheless, the Senate’s move was underhanded and a sneak attack on a well-qualified individual. We’ll discuss.

In other state news, there is a growing effort to eliminate private health insurance and shift to socialized medicine for all.

Then, a New York Congressman is suggesting that there should be a ban on sports gambling advertisements, like what we see regarding tobacco ads.

Finally, we’ll discuss a whistleblower’s effort to expose what is happening regarding so-called gender transition treatments. These types of medical interventions are not normal and should not be treated as such.

Let’s get started.
