From pushing parking permits to talking up tax hikes, lawmakers are in Albany readying their state budget proposals ahead of what may be some tense negotiations with the governor before the April 1 deadline. The Senate and the Assembly each presented their statements of priorities, known as one-house budgets, hoping the budget will be hammered out soon. NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Courtney Gross weighed in on the key polarizing issues in the budget, and discussed the potential importance of it being delivered on time for Gov. Kathy Hochul.
After that, Queens Assemblymember Juan Ardila faces calls from colleagues to resign after sexual harassment allegations were raised against him in a Queens newspaper. The allegations date back to before he was in office and Speaker Carl Heastie seems reluctant to call for his resignation yet. The team took a look at the complicated nature of these charges, and what may lie ahead for Ardila.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the state budget proposals.
