With the state budget deadline approaching, it appears that there is little chance of the budget being delivered on time. Two of the most pressing issues are bail reform and affordable housing, particularly the plan allowing the state to prioritize housing projects even if they do not meet local approval. NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez, and Courtney Gross weighed in on what’s necessary to finalize the budget, and who is most likely to get their needs met.
After that, MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber was in Albany stressing the importance of a permanent source of funding for mass transit, saying it’s important for his agency not to face the same funding shortages next year. The team weighed in on Lieber’s concerns and the status of the MTA since the pandemic.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the state budget negotiations.
