Burdick on the Pod: Budget Standoff, Immigration, Jacob Burns & More
New York’s state budget is now more than two weeks late, with negotiations stalled over key policy disagreements between Gov. Kathy Hochul and legislative leaders.
The governor is pushing several high-profile proposals – including a statewide school cellphone ban, changes to the state’s involuntary commitment law, and revisions to pretrial discovery rules – while lawmakers push back on both the process and the priorities.
Assemblymember Chris Burdick joined Adam Stone, Martin Wilbur, and Shane McGaffey for Episode 2 of our Local Matters: Westchester podcast to unpack what’s holding things up in Albany – and what it all means for Westchester residents.
We also discussed the local impact of national immigration policy, why residents should speak up on proposed Con Ed rate hikes, the Jacob Burns Film Center controversy, and more.
