Q: How did each Assembly Member vote on each budget bill?

A: The only ones who know are the staff recording votes & those watching the livestream & counting from home.

ALSO: @CarlHeastie changed the rules so that no-voters must appear in person, while yes-voters may stay home. https://twitter.com/em4assembly/status/1245898044119420929
Republicans are done, now the Dems get to speak.

Rodneyse Bichotte, 42nd AD and the new Brooklyn Democratic Party chairperson, votes aye.
Dan Quart, 73rd AD and candidate for Manhattan DA, votes nay.
Jo Anne Simon, 52nd AD, votes in the negative.
@YuhLine Niou, 65th AD, votes in the negative.

(She also gave an outstanding, moving speech that I wish I had recorded.)
@CatalinaCruzNY, 39th AD, votes in the negative.

And she gave a moving, powerful speech, focusing much of her time on the rights and the humanity of people who are incarcerated.
Latrice Walker, 55th AD, votes in the negative.

She gave an electric speech against rolling back bail reform, all but calling out colleagues for complicity in overt institutional racism. White supremacy, slavery, plantations, lynching, Kalief – yes, she righteously went there 👏
