On Monday's late edition of #TheUpdate, New Yorkers are set to go to the polls and make some important decisions in elections tomorrow to pick mayors, prosecutors, county leaders, and other local positions. Voters in NYC are picking a new mayor, while Buffalo has a mayoral race that has gained attention as the latest fight over how Democrats should beat tackle the plight of the poor and working class. Day 1 of the worker shortage is over as about 9,000 municipal workers were put on unpaid leave for refusing to comply with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate that's now in effect, and thousands of city firefighters have called out sick in an apparent protest over the requirement. And as deadlines look for military and defense civilians to get mandated COVID-19 vaccines, senior leaders are wrestling with the fate of tens of thousands who flatly refuse the shots or are seeking exemptions, and how to be treated fairly and equally. 💉🇺🇲
