The New York state budget is now three weeks late and is showing no real signs of completion. NY1's Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Courtney Gross weigh in on Gov. Kathy Hochul's ambitious housing plan and why it's receiving pushback from legislators. They also discussed how much of the opposition is coming from suburban counties rather than the city, and why the plan may not be winning her the support of progressive Democrats.
After that, it appears Mayor Eric Adams has lost his patience with the White House. The mayor urged President Joe Biden to immediately authorize work permits for asylum seekers who have entered New York City. It marks the harshest criticism of the Biden administration we've seen from the mayor. The "Off Topic/On Politics" team takes a detailed look at Adams’ remarks, and also discusses how, with a divided White House, there may be little the president can do.
We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the mayor's criticism of President Biden.
