Begining Monday True News Will Begin a New Daily Feature the Top Ten Stories Not Covered By the NY Media
From those being investigated to those who should be. One of the True News Top Ten Uncovered Will list quesitons not being asked to the mayoral candidates about the real world he or she will face. Last week mayoral education forum turned into a wish list fantasy by the candidates becauses those contoling the dabate were unprepared or not qualified to ask follow up questing on how each candidates proposed ideas would work or not work in reality. There seem to be a disconnect between candidates following their talking points to appeal to union support who are very important in the priamry and fiscial debt NYC is in. New Yorkers need to aske the candidates about the budget gap and the almost 10% of New Yorkers remain unemployed. NY's failed 991emergency phone or payroll systems. New York has long term debts that if interest rates go up are going to sock the city. Don't count on the media to break the fantsy campaign disconnect, they failed to do so in the presidential election

Fight for Control of the State Senate, Sept Primary Dead?
After a
thorough recount, Assemblyman George Amedore leads his Democratic
opponent, Cecilia Tkaczyk by more than 100 votes in their ongoing state
senate race, the third lead change since last Friday, the Times-Union
reports: * With talk of a special session dying down,
that could very well mean that the September 2013 primary date will
happen after all. You know, the one that Board of Elections Commissioner
J.C. Polanco once called a “practical and legal impossibility.” Should be fun. * This op-ed by Senator Jeff Klein,
the leader of the breakaway IDC faction of Democrats, is mysterious.
“For the four of us, bipartisanship is not a matter of political
expedience. It is a matter of principle, rooted in the reality of the
changing times. It is becoming increasingly clear, both at home and in
Washington, that we are at a political tipping point,” Mr. Klein wrote.
“For that reason, coalition government may be the model whose time has
finally come.” As he went out of his way to tout his progressive
positions in the piece, it’s possible he’s shoring up his left flank in
the face of expected upcoming criticism, but it’s difficult to say for
sure. * Senate Democrats say they won across state on issue of minimum wage hike and they want to pass it. * The Klein Coalition?(YNN) * welcome to Albany, Crains.

The state ethics commission will require political-advocacy groups to identify their donors, but the amounts donated are not specific
New Ethics Rule Will Make Some Donors’ Names Public (NYT)Givers of more than $5,000 to political advocacy and other groups will be named, but the entire amounts will not be specified. New York State’s ethics commission will require political-advocacy and
other groups to make public the names of donors who give them more than
$5,000, under a regulation tentatively approved on Tuesday. But a new amendment incorporated into the regulation appears to diminish
its impact. Under the changes, the groups typically would not have to
report all the money their donors give, only an unspecified portion
determined by a complicated formula. But a new amendment incorporated into the regulation appears to diminish

The answer, apparently, is their “Black Hats Friday” sale.
