  • $127 billion, with Ana Champeny

    $127 billion, with Ana Champeny
    Mar 20 2026
    $127 billion is the size of NYC's Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2027. After reporting a yawning $12 billion budget gap estimate, Mayor Mamdani revised that number down to $5.4 billion, thanks in part to Governor Hochul's willingness to chip in. But don't let the shrinking gap fool you: the underlying problems will not go away without making some tough choices. The Mayor proposes to raise personal income, business and property taxes to close the gap, but are tax hikes really the City's only option? Here to help us explore the City's budget crisis and potential solutions is CBC's Vice President for Research Ana Champeny.

    $263 billion, with NYS Budget Director Blake Washington

    $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
    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.
