This week – with the introduction and adoption of one-house budget resolutions – the Democratic majorities staked out their positions in the upcoming budget debates with Gov. Kathy Hochul. To consider whether these proposals represent a seismic event at the Capitol and where the governor is going to draw lines in the metaphorical budget sand, we spoke with Shontell Smith, co-head of the New York practice for Tusk Strategies, and Josh Solomon, Capitol reporter for the Times Union.
We also talk about what the governor’s “housing compact” might look like in a final budget.
