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.

The technology exists to record Assembly Committee meetings? 🧐
Earlier this week in the Codes committee, a hold was placed on my bill which would establish the crimes of 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐄𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 (A.5186). It is clear that by holding the bill, the safety of our police officers and their families is not the priority of the Assembly. Below are my remarks during the committee meeting. ⬇️

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.

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.

NEW: In a split decision, a mid-level NY appeals court orders the state's Independent Redistricting Commission to redraw New York's congressional district -- a win for Dems, who hate the current lines. It'll go to the Court of Appeals, the state's top court.

I’ve learned so much at City & State and can’t thank the team enough for supporting me since 2014, from intern to now. It’s time to try something new - though I’ll still be reporting on NYC politics. Stay tuned 👀
