A vote today will decide
whether or not to strip Gov. Andrew Cuomo of his emergency powers.
It comes in response to his
handling of coronavirus-related deaths in nursing homes.
The New York State
legislature will vote today on a bill that would limit Cuomo's authority to
govern without legislative oversight.
The deal will reverse
emergency powers granted to Cuomo in the early days of the COVID pandemic. The emergency powers allowed him to order measures
like quarantines.
