BROOKLYN — Tensions are rising again in the New York state Senate as each side prepares for what will be a marquee political fight in the fall elections, state Sen. Daniel Squadron (D-Downtown Brooklyn/Lower Manhattan) pointed out recently.
Republicans are claiming victory following a Tuesday night special election in which their candidate performed well in heavily Democratic Brooklyn. Meanwhile, the Senate’s Democratic minority is trying to wage its fight on the Senate floor, accusing the GOP majority of returning Albany to its old dysfunctional days.
