I am not a NYer but here goes...

The Democrats controlled the senate 32 to 30, but then two rats switched sides and the GOP took control, but the Democrats ran out of the senate and refused to recognize the result. In the ensuing weeks, they enticed/threatened a turncoat rat to switch back, and it is now tied 31-31. Legally, the Republicans still control because the prior vote of 32 to 30 switching control still stands. However a quorum of 32 is needed to do business, and Democrats have refused to show up or participate for purposes of making a quorum.

They are hoping with enough chaos, some judge somewhere will invalidate the vote giving power to the Republicans.

Spoiled narcissistic children! On the plus side, no laws are being passed, and at the very lest, NY still follows the quorum rules. In MA, over the holiday, they had only 2 and at one point 3 present, and simply stated there was a quorum, and proceeded to pass laws without one.
