Albany’s slavery-reparations farce takes another telling turn

Shocker: Albany is punting on a report from the state’s reparations commission — pushing off its deadline to 2029, four years after the original due date.
That follows a one-year extension granted in 2024, which of course already expired.
Typical: Lawmakers clearly realize (but don’t dare admit) the idea is utterly nuts — and not likely to ever result in significant state payments for America’s sin of slavery.
Most likely, they’re hoping everyone just forgets about it.
Maybe some want to drag out the process, so they can posture as long as possible, pretending to fight for justice.
