In CATO's 2023 Freedom in the 50 States: An Index of Personal and Economic Freedom study, New York once again takes top honors as the most UNFREE state in the Union, a position they've held since the year 2000. I'm sure Gov. Kathy Hochul is celebrating, shouting joy and victory at the result!

Not that California didn't try, but they still couldn't even beat Hawaii which again took second-place honors.

See how your state made out:

Just by visually looking at her....

I have surmised with 100% total accuracy...

That her gash smells like a three day old fish in the 🌞 sun...

Ya, she's one of those Progressive types after all.
Her husband's multibillion-dollar gaming, hotels, and concessions company Delaware North where he's pulling down $650,000 a year as senior vice president and counsel makes out really well on the policies she supports..
She held a gun to the head of the Seneca Nation by freezing their bank accounts so she could heist $418 million out of $564 million she forced them to hand over to go toward the new $1.2 billion Buffalo Bills stadium.
“What the governor did was literally putting politics over people. She impacted not only the Seneca Nation with access to healthcare prescription medication. She also impacted 5,000 jobs, most of which are non-Seneca, that work in our casinos,” Seneca President Matthew Pagels told Spectrum News.

Then there's those authoritarian COVID policies and stuff

Yep, “Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.” is her motto, aLLeDgeDlY


Her husband's company has a history of pulling dirty fascist deeds. Delaware North is a direct competitor to the Seneca Nations casinos. "In fact, Delaware North was directly involved in violating the original 2002 gaming compact between NYS and SNI. That compact gave SNI exclusive gaming rights within a specified zone, which Delaware North violated by operating two racetrack casinos within the exclusive area" as stated in Last Real Indians.

Delaware North: Head Of The Snake

New York State Governor Kathy Hochul has a dark cloud looming over her head in the form of a major conflict of interest. Before we get into the thick of things, let’s recap:

Last Monday, the Seneca Nation of Indians (SNI) tribal council voted unanimously to pay New York State (NYS) $564 million from casino revenue. The five year legal standoff reached its culmination when Governor Kathy Hochul subpoenaed KeyBank, successfully freezing Seneca bank accounts in a move that has been deemed unethical. Less than 24 hours after SNI paid up, the Department of the Interior issued new draft regulations with wording specific to the Seneca dispute, seemingly in their favor.

The same day, Hochul announced that $418 million of the Seneca payment would be used to fund the building of the new Buffalo Bills football stadium in the governor’s hometown. Plans for the new stadium have been under fire by major news outlets, such as Bloomberg, New York Times, NY Post, US News, and Jacobin Magazine with the appropriate headline “The Buffalo Bills New Stadium is a Scam.” The inclusion of the Seneca payment will whack the taxpayer burden nearly in half, resulting in a big win for Hochul’s ratings. Buffalo Bills owner, oil and gas billionaire Terry Pegula, is receiving a $418 million gift just four years after Seneca led opposition forced his company JKLM Energy to scrap their fracking plans near the Allegany River.

Now that we are all caught up on the situation, let’s talk about the ten thousand pound serpent in the room; I’m talking, of course, about Delaware North. On the surface, Delaware North is your friendly neighborhood concessions company, employing scores of high school teens seeking seasonal positions. Few know that there is a dark, seedy underbelly to Delaware North, and Last Real Indians intends to shine a spotlight on it.

First of all, Delaware North is not just a concession company - they are also a gaming company in direct competition of the Seneca Gaming Corporation. A former Delaware North executive who wishes to remain unnamed has told us that we wouldn’t believe the money they make from gaming. We were also dazzled with fantastic stories about mafia and “intimidation tactics,” but for legal reasons we can neither confirm nor deny these speculative stories; so we will leave it at that.

Delaware North was once known as Emprise, but they changed their name after a federal jury racketeering conviction in 1972; where they were found guilty of concealing the mafia’s ownership of the Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Arizona sports journalist Don Bolles testified in court against Emprise after investigating their long term sports stadium contracts, which Bolles found to be suspicious and riddled with mafia related activity. Four years later, Don Bolles was assassinated by a car bomb. As he lay dying, his final words were “Emprise…Mafia…” Definitely a good reason to rebrand the company after that fiasco. Interestingly enough, at that time (and probably still today) Phoenix was run by a group of influential wealthy elite known as the “Phoenix 40.” During the 1990’s, Buffalo was run by a similar politically charged group of wealthy elite known as the “Group of 18” or “Buffalo 18.” Sources close to Delaware North have told us that one of Jeremy Jacobs’s luxury vehicles sports a golden buffalo, emblazoned with the number 18.

Sounds like the Seneca Nation fooled around and found out.
