The state budget is late, and the ripples are being felt across all five boroughs. Are businesses quietly packing their bags, and what will it take to get them to stay?
This week on Politics Unusual, Morgan McKay convenes a heavy-hitting Reporter Roundtable featuring New York Times City Hall Reporter Sally Goldenberg and New York Post City Hall Bureau Chief Craig McCarthy. They break down exactly how the budget delays are impacting NYC, the devil in the details of the proposed pied-à-terre tax, and the uphill battle business leaders face in keeping jobs in the Empire State. Plus, they analyze Assemblymember Mamdani’s influence over the budget and weigh the odds of a rent freeze for rent-stabilized apartments as the Rent Guidelines Board vote looms.
Then, Morgan sits down with Scott Munro, President of the Detectives' Endowment Association. Munro details his aggressive push for the HALO Act—a bill that would create a strict 15-foot buffer zone around police officers, firefighters, and EMS workers. He explains the penalties for violating the zone, his upcoming lobbying efforts in Washington D.C., and the ongoing fight to make changes to Tier 2A pensions.
