It was an eventful week in Albany as Mayor Eric Adams raised some big questions about parts of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s budget proposal, saying it would harm New York City financially. But while the mayor was testifying, the state Senate made the surprise move to vote on Hochul’s controversial judicial nominee, Hector LaSalle. NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Emily Ngo weighed in on the very busy day in Albany and discussed how LaSalle’s rejection will affect the state court system in the coming months.
After that, the City Council’s Progressive Caucus shrank this month from 35 members to 20, after a statement of principles updated by the left-leaning group called for reducing the size of both the NYPD and the Department of Correction. The statement has been criticized by many, including Adams, who likened it to defunding the police. The team looked at this change within the Progressive Caucus and at how its power within the City Council may shift because of it.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the mayor’s trip to Albany.
