">New Bill Aims to Revive Short-Term Rentals in NYC
- Politics
- 5 days ago
A recently introduced bill, Bill 1107, led by Council Members Farah Louis (Prime Sponsor), Adrienne Adams, Mercedes Narcisse, and Kevin Riley, proposes critical amendments to New York City’s stringent short-term rental laws. This legislation seeks to address the limitations imposed by Local Law 18 (LL18), which had effectively eliminated short-term rental opportunities for many homeowners in one- and two-family homes across the city.

">Democrats Lose Big: Failing to Master Digital Campaigning
- Politics
- 1 week ago
Democrats found themselves on the losing end across the board—in the Presidential race, the Senate, and Congressional 2024 elections. While many factors contributed to these losses, a critical one stands out: the failure to grasp the power of digital campaigning. Republicans, with their 50-state digital strategy, have effectively leveraged hyper-local outreach, putting them miles ahead in reaching and engaging voters.

">Understanding Joint Custody and School Authorization Rights
- Education
- 2 weeks ago
Joint custody is a common arrangement for separated or divorced parents, allowing them to share responsibility for their child’s upbringing. When both parents have 50/50 joint custody, the child typically spends equal time with each parent, and both parents share in the decision-making regarding education, healthcare, and other important aspects of the child’s life. However, situations can arise where additional permissions are required to facilitate everyday tasks, like accessing schoolwork. Below, we’ll explore how this plays out, especially when one parent has authorization to grant access to their spouse to assist with the child’s homework and classwork, even while the child is with the biological father.
