How major events are selected
The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Projected cash disbursements across all governmental funds in the enacted Financial Plan. The total includes state operating funds, federal operating aid, capital projects, and debt service; it is a spending plan rather than a GAAP expense total.
Shares of the $131.4 billion in taxes reported as general revenue by New York's governmental activities. This denominator excludes federal grants, service charges, investment income, business-type activities, and locally collected property taxes.

Audited government-wide activity for New York's primary government. Revenue includes program and general revenue; these are accrual-accounting results, not the FY2027 cash spending plan.

FactVote summary
The bill would establish independent Article I United States Immigration Courts within the Immigration and Nationality Act, consisting of appellate, trial, and administrative divisions. The courts would assume immigration adjudication functions currently performed by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, including removal proceedings, certain asylum and fear determinations, and appeals. Existing EOIR immigration judges would generally serve as interim trial judges during a four-year transition period, while the measure would provide for 15-year judicial appointments, court-controlled budgeting, and transfer of related personnel and resources.

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified New York officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 3, 2026.

This section matches specific budgets, government spending, deficits and public debt terms in retained, attributed source text from published New York candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Only current New York officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a New York statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 3, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
New York snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to New York, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
