Before I began working in local government, I worked as a public school special education teacher, was a union leader, and I was a member of the award winning Jewish acapella group, Six13. I love spending time with my family, enjoying NYC's parks and open spaces, grabbing a slice of pizza, and I am forever a superhero fan! Excited to see what questions you have for me.

The "What happened in your state last week?" Megathread, Week 8

Posted: 21 Feb 2022 09:14 AM PST

Welcome to the 'What happened in your state last week' thread, where you can post any local political news stories that you find important in the comments. This is a weekly thread posted every Monday, in order to facilitate more discussion on local issues on /r/politics. Since this is intended to be a thread about local politics, top-level comments that are exclusively about national issues will not be allowed. When commenting, please include the state you're living in, and don't forget to link sources. Also, please actually describe what happened. Things like "I live in X, you know what happened", "Nothing happened" or "[Politician] continues to be an idiot" isn't helpful to users and will be removed.

If someone from your state made a news round-up that you think is insufficient, feel free to comment to that round-up with further news stories. Enjoy discussion, and review our civility guidelines before engaging with others.


Hi there, /r/politics. Because this thread is about local politics, I'd like to reiterate that news about President Biden or any other national political figure is off topic in this thread and will be removed. Thank you, and have a good week.
