After a lobbying effort from news publishers, the state budget will include a tax credit aimed at hiring and job retention in the newspaper and broadcast industries in New York. Measure was tucked into ELFA out this morning
The Assembly seems to be breaking for the evening and we're still waiting on ELFA, so in the meantime, get caught up on what we know about what's made it into -- or been taken out of -- the state budget so far cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/04…
State Senate Finance Committee says on the floor that she's lead to believe "we're down to a tiny number of issues" that still need to be finalized in the budget, and expects the other six budget bills that still need to get printed will be "ready to go tomorrow"
We have budget bills. I repeat, we have budget bills. PPGG, TED and REV have been printed
The Senate will pass a new extended tomorrow at 11 a.m., with nothing else planned as of yet, per Sen. Krueger
You don't understand, that Nigerian prince needs the $237 billion meant for our budget much more than New York does

Hochul tells Brian Lehrer this morning that if lawmakers had the votes on tenant protections, it would have already been on her desk. Says "compromise isn't a dirty word."
INBOX: everyone hates the budget agreement
"They won't dissappear overnight." Hochul on the effect of new cannabis regs on the budget. States and localities will have padlock power in budget deal.
Gov. Hochul sending lawmakers today a budget extender that expires Thursday
On good cause eviction, one source tells me concessions include: - exemption for rents 200% of fair market rent - 30 yr exemption for new construction - owner-occupied buildings of 8 units or less, and those landlords with a 10 unit portfolio exempt - opt-in for municipalities
Sources tell me and @VaughnEGolden: Housing deal. Broad strokes: - 485-x replaces 421-a - 421-a extender - 12 FAR cap gone - Office conversion provisions - Good cause (Proposed cap was 5%+inflation; 10% overall; whichever is higher) - 'Modest' adjustments to IAI
The Assembly has just passed a budget extender funding the state government through April 15. It joins the state Senate who did so yesterday.
New York City officials and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund are joining calls for Good Cause Eviction to be included - as written - in a possible housing deal this year. cityandstateny.com/politics/2024/…
What stage of journalism career is it when you’re hearing phantom slack sounds asking for a friend
Gov. Hochul might support good cause eviction for a housing deal but there could be tweaks–exemptions for luxury apartments, a 15-year exemption for new construction and a higher limit on rent increases prior to lawsuits via @CityAndStateNY's @AJeffNY buff.ly/4aJ1Z3s

Test from an Albany insider: “I am hearing from Assembly and Senate Dems that they “have no fucking clue what Kathy is doing” in regards to this 4:45pm press conference. They were still debating the budget in conference.” Let’s see what @GovKathyHochul will say…

very much of the belief building more housing lowers rent but it is unfortunate this belief is often tethered to an unbridled economic liberalism that states said belief is incongruent with tenant protections, rent control, advocacy for more affordable units, etc.

Do you know what a "bottle night" is? Probably not, because my gf and I invented it during a 2023 blizzard in Buffalo, NY. We lock our phones away, turn the TV off... Each grab a bottle of wine, and talk. That's it, we simply talk and enjoy each other's presence. We live…

Why would @News12 delete this video of George Latimer saying he's not racist because he knew Black people growing up?
