It’s a grab bag episode featuring clips from the Capitol Pressroom cutting room floor and a new interview about a polling experiment.
Up first, Siena Research Institute pollster Steve Greenberg addresses a decision to ask registered voters to weigh in on quotes from the gubernatorial candidates, without knowing who the statements actually came from. We consider how the experiment could have been more useful and discuss what the latest poll says about Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s embrace of the work by ICE agents.
And in the rest of the show we talk about the legislative process with Sen. James Skoufis, hear a joke from Assembly Ways & Means Committee Chair Gary Pretlow, and get reactions from Assembly members Didi Barrett and John McDonald to the governor’s likely push to scale back the CLCPA.
