Today's Lead: Cuomo, Christie Create Port Authority Reform Panel


eyeopenerbw2

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie announced yesterday the creation of a panel to recommend reforms at the Port Authority. In a joint letter they said the panel should review the embattled agency's mission, structure, management, operations, and overall governance. The governors said they are unhappy with the George Washington bridge scandal, as well as the operation of John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia airports. The letter suggested they would pursue ways to split up ownership or at least management of the agency's transit and infrastructure assets between the states. The panel is to be comprised of lawyers for both governors and current members of the authority's board. Its recommendations, which are expected within 60 days, wouldn't be binding. Some changes would need approval from the governors, others would require consent from Congress. Sen. Charles Schumer, who last week criticized the governors' politicization of the authority, commended the panel's creation.

2014 Election Overview


In 2014, New Yorkers will decide among candidates to fill elected offices in the United States Congress, and in the executive and legislative branches of New York State government: Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General, and representatives to the NYS Senate and Assembly.

As 2014 is a mid-term election year, the elections for New York State's two United States Senators and the President will not take place this year, rather will be held in 2016.

To review information about the 2014 elections, scroll through this page and the other pages in the Gotham Gazette Election Center, and read our Guide to the Last Minute Voter.

To find your polling place, visit the NYC Board of Elections' Poll Site Locator.

To learn about your current representatives, visit Who Represents Me? NYC.

Ballot Proposals

In addition to voting for candidates, New Yorkers may also have the opportunity to vote on whether to amend specific provisions of the New York State Constitution via referenda, otherwise known as ballot proposals.

The NYS legislature (both the State Senate and Assembly) must vote for the proposals to appear on the ballot two years in a row. Then, the NYS Board of Elections must certify the language of the proposals - and their abstracts, or official summaries - by early August, 3 months before the General Election.

* For more information about this process and the specific proposals which will appear on the General Election ballot, visit Gotham Gazette's Ballot Proposals page.
