the Green Amendment does not alter DEC’s enforcement discretion … and so the plaintiffs cannot compel DEC to enforce against Seneca Meadows.

Translation to plain English: you can’t force us to do our job, so we won’t 🤦

In the High Acres case, a Supreme Court judge formally decided that “complying with the Constitution is not optional for a state agency.”

State officials promptly appealed that ruling

In case you wondered whether the people in charge of NY state are anywhere near as left wing as the fascist echo chamber makes it sound 😮‍💨
