New York State lawmakers missed the April 1st budget deadline, and negotiations remain stalled over several key policy issues. This week, Assemblyman Michael Cashman of the 115th District joins us to break down where things stand.
Topics include proposed tax increases on wealthy New Yorkers, Governor Hochul’s push to lower car insurance rates, and possible rollbacks to the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, the state’s landmark 2019 climate law. Cashman also discusses two bills he has introduced, one that would cap utility rate hikes and another that could delay the electric school bus mandate for North Country school districts.
