Probably the No. 1 thing that bothers me most about NY State, is how a small group of fringe "environmentalists" have a chokehold on all state policy. From fracking to management of our public lands to ATVs. they manage to control everything in Albany, and block even the smallest and minimalists reforms.
Now, there are a lot of good people across the state from forest rangers to conservation groups, working behind the scenes for reasonable policies. But dare they stick their head up too far, the "environmentalists" find ways to win by threats, lawsuits, and cowing elected officials.
After all, why would we want to give people the ability to register and insure their ATVs against loss in NY State? They might abuse that "privilege" and ride on prohibited lands !
Time to start getting off at the North Hudson Exit again. Doesn't add much time to your trip either ... kind of scenic too. I've heard of Checkpoints on Route 9, but they are much rarer.
Some neat maps on food and agriculture production in America.
NY State had 45 Congressional Districts as of 1950. It dropped to 36 by 1980, and by 2010 was only 27 districts …
That means in NY State has 40% less representation in Congress then we had in 1950.
In 1950, New York had 14.8 million residents. It was the most populous state in 1950. By 2010 that number had grown to 19.3 million.
However in the mean-time, California grew to 37.3 million people from 10.6 million in 1950, Texas to 25.2 million from 9.8 million in 1950.
