The New York State enacted budget reallocates public school funding away from NYC and towards the rest of the state. Research from @NYFiscalPolicy

[emily murphy eisner @EmMurphEis]

@OpenNYForAll Hm what happened in last year's state budget? There is definitely some tax incentive for ADUs at the state level but I guess they're still deferring to local zoning?

This is Part GG of ELFA from last year

New York is grey on every map here. Why are our leaders incapable of passing even the most modest zoning reforms?

[Sam Ro 📈 @SamRo]

they went with American made to avoid tariffs

[rayne fisher-quann @raynefq]

w that being said ai is just a natural extension of long-standing conditions that value wealth-building, instant gratification, efficiency, etc & de-value the idea of doing anything for its own sake without profit incentive. as I wrote abt here https://t.co/hu3HaNdxvv

[Aaron Eisenberg @ae53]

Weekly maximum unemployment insurance will go up from $504 to $869 a week!

This coupled with reducing the waiting period by a week for UI for striking workers are major wins for all workers

Proud of the work @UAWRegion9A and @UAWregion9 did together to help win both of these

[Monica Klein @MonicaCKlein]

Hochul plans to cut the corporate tax rate — slashing state revenue by $1 billion/year, as NY faces looming federal cuts.

Under-discussed in budget negotiations & of note in @NYFiscalPolicy's latest op-ed:

FPI’s research cited in today’s New York Times on how working families can’t afford to live in NYC:

“When you have young children, there’s a lot of cost pressures all at once,” said Andrew Perry, a senior policy analyst.

FPI’s Health Policy Director @MichaelKinnucan in the NYT today:

Gutting Medicaid means attacking a program backed by a wide range of organizations — from the AARP to the American Hospital Association — that also enjoys broad public support.

[Empire State Campaign for Child Care @EmpireStateCCC]

This latest report from the @NYFiscalPolicy highlights the urgency and importance of increasing funding for the Child Care Assistance Program. Without this funding, thousands of eligible families will not have access to child care.

One under-appreciated aspect of the tariffs is how we're basically going to get a repeat of the 2020 pandemic where the biggest companies get a lot bigger and the smaller get smaller (or just disappear).

[Preston Mui @PrestonMui]

I feel like people are keeping their ear to the ground on layoffs

But I think this is more important

[emily murphy eisner @EmMurphEis]

this is the worst tweet i've ever seen wtf

[Open New York @OpenNYForAll]

Why did you rob your constituents of affordable housing?

[Skanda Amarnath @IrvingSwisher]

Folks refuse to admit that all of the rugpulling in every direction has a permanent cost attached to it.

Like taking a negotiations class where you feel clever about anchoring and optionality, but never understand the concept of a repeated game

[Rafe Meager (they/them) @economeager]

The problem with a lot of para-academics, deans and pundits is all they do all day is talk, mostly about things that are unverifiable or unverified. so they have a vested interest in the idea that talking is general intelligence *regardless of the correctness of the content*
