Talk:New York State Legislature

Split Legislature
I thought the main reason for the split legislature is that the legislature controls redistricting, so the Senate ensures that district lines are drawn to favor Republicans, and the same for Democrats in the House, and one of Governor-elect Spitzer's possible reforms is to create an independent redistricting commission to draw the lines? - Matthew238 02:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Senate Apportionment
I removed this bit about the Senate:

''The New York Constitution provides that the default membership be fifty members. However, it provides that if any county would by virtue of its population be entitled to more than three Senators, then the first three Senators would count towards the limit of fifty, while the remainder would be in addition to the fifty. Currently, there are twelve additional Senators (who are in terms of legislative power equal to any other Senators), making the total membership sixty-two. This accounts for the large percentage of the state population taken up by New York City and its suburbs (usually estimated at about 60%, depending on which counties are included as suburbs).''

It's unclear, awkward, and possibly inaccurate. - Matthew238 (talk) 04:24, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Labels for Infobox Graphics
The two graphics showing apportionment of seats are not labeled. It is unclear at a glance whether each refers to the Assembly or to the Senate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.75.251.106 (talk) 00:25, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
