  • $263 billion, with NYS Budget Director Blake Washington

    $263 billion, with NYS Budget Director Blake Washington
    Mar 3 2026
    $263 billion is the size of the FY27 State budget proposed by Governor Hochul. With strong tax receipts, the State has enough to close next year's gap and put a dent in future gaps, plus fund universal childcare. But risks abound, including a structural budget gap and federal changes to Medicaid and SNAP. How is the State navigating all these competing forces in an election year? Should NYS be doing more for the City? What are the risks & benefits of higher taxes? We speak with Blake Washington, the State Budget Director, on all this and more in this week's episode.

  • 630,000 with Andy Byford

    630,000 with Andy Byford
    Feb 3 2026
    630,000 is the number of riders who travel through Penn Station every day—making it the busiest transportation hub in the nation. The catch? It was designed, reportedly, for just 200,000. Revitalizing Penn Station is a bit of a white whale for its many stakeholders, including three transit agencies, two states, one city, and now, the Federal government. There is momentum at long last in part thanks to the head of the project for Amtrak, Andy "Train Daddy" Byford. So—what should the station look like? What will happen to MSG? Who will pay—and who's in charge? Listen in as CBC President Andrew Rein and Byford have a substantive conversation about the project's future.

    1,039,069 with Grace Rauh
    Jan 16 2026
    1,039,069 is the number of kids under the age of five in New York who could ultimately qualify for free or subsidized childcare under the Hochul/Mamdani plan. How should the State and City design a flexible program that meets the needs of diverse families? How should it be phased? What does "universal" mean exactly? And what is the budget impact in an uncertain fiscal environment? To help answer these questions and more is Grace Rauh, Executive Director of Citizens Union and a long-time advocate for childcare reform in New York City.
