He talks about the “Big Not-So-Beautiful Bill,” the current government shutdown, the prospect of millions of New Yorkers losing their healthcare, cuts to Food Stamps, services like transportation and investments made to mitigate climate change. He discusses how NY State hopes to meet all of these challenges, and what lies ahead.
Jim chats with his distinguished guests about significant features of the NYS budget (the NYS House and Senate recently passed separate versions, but the full legislature has yet to pass a final version) and also dives more deeply into the affordable housing crisis, especially as it relates to the budget and what’s happening in Albany. His guests are Assemblymember Robert Carroll (D-44th AD, Brooklyn), Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon (D- 52nd AD, Brooklyn), and Rachel Fee, Executive Director of the New York Housing Conference.
