Albany alarm bell

Even though more people are dying from car crashes on New York streets and sidewalks than in any year since 2013, pols in the Legislature — who have, count ‘em, just six days left on the lawmaking calendar this session — look unlikely to give New York City the power to keep thousands of speed cameras turned on nights and weekends, much less to expand the tiny number of red-light enforcement cameras on city streets or give us control over speed limits.

Even though the Senate unanimously passed the Adult Survivors Act, which, modeled after the Child Victims Act, opens civil courts for one year to give people who were sexually abused the chance to seek justice, the worthy bill is stalled in the Assembly.

Even though mayoral control of city schools expires June 30, even though Gov. Hochul correctly tried to extend it for four years in her budget, getting the Legislature to extend the critical law has been like pulling teeth.

Even though thousands of families want their kids to learn in charters, independently run schools that on average get academic results far superior to district-run schools, leaders in neither house have lifted a finger to raise the arbitrary cap on the number of such schools.

Even though New York City desperately needs new affordable apartments and the tax break that encourages housing production is expiring, Hochul’s new and improved version of 421-a was scratched from the budget and is stuck.

Even though the court system’s top judge has laid out a smart plan to streamline and consolidate New York’s impossibly arcane judicial system, it also seems to be going nowhere fast.

Even though a commission appointed by the last mayor put together a smart blueprint to overhaul the city’s impossible-to-understand, deeply unfair property tax system, nobody in the Capitol has done squat to advance a fix.

Other than that, Albany is having a very productive session.
