Gov. Kathy Hochul last month nominated Hector LaSalle to be New York State’s chief judge, a decision which almost immediately faced significant resistance from several key members of the Democratic party. Progressive activists and influential labor unions oppose LaSalle, saying he has often ruled conservatively. Can LaSalle survive confirmation hearings in the State Senate? NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Courtney Gross weigh in on the controversy and discuss potential solutions.
Additionally, Congressman-elect George Santos arrived on Capitol Hill this week amid a growing scandal. Adding drama to an already chaotic week on the Hill, Santos’ story continues to develop as his resume has been proven to be a series of lies. He’s also facing legal troubles as Brazilian prosecutors have decided to reopen a fraud case against him. The team discusses the current situation surrounding Santos.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the chief judge nomination.
