“How’s this for an operating agreement. Stop whining and deal with the new Republican majority in the New York State Senate.”
Doesn’t seem quite that clear-cut if you read the whole story. At best, apprears, in fact, to be a 31-31 tie in the NY Senate. So some sort of power-sharing agreement is probably appropriate. We went through that here, both in the Senate and the House.
And the Democrats whined then.
