We have an update on the case. Two weeks after the original "complaint" (as lawsuits are called) was filed, an amended complaint was filed, something that escaped our notice until today. The amended complaint repeats almost all of the original with one major addition: It names NY Governor Kathy Hochul as a co-defendant.
