The state budget is due in a few days and Assembly Speaker @CarlHeastie says there is no agreement on the topline spending number.

He says policy discussions - discovery reform, cellphones in schools, involuntary commitment, and masks - are eating up all the negotiations.

No.

Attention to lobbyists: Still waiting for veto messages and approval memos that were dropped this evening by the governor?

LRS doesn't have them (and they're obviously not on the free sites), but (my former employer) @NYStateWatch has them.

Behold: The IRC’s proposal for NY’s new congressional districts.

The one big change: GOP Rep. Brandon Williams’s CNY district picks up Democratic turf in Auburn.

NYC and LI stay the same, as far as I can tell.

I'm so excited to start an another amazing opportunity:

I'm joining @NY1 as an on air political reporter in September, taking over the state house beat: covering @GovKathyHochul, the state legislature & @NYCMayor's inroads into Albany.

[Bernadette Hogan @bern_hogan]

Professional news: It's my last day at the @nypost.

Working at the city's best tabloid newspaper has been the privilege of a lifetime, first cutting my teeth on the Albany beat & now ending my 4.5 year career here as City Hall Bureau Chief.
