What are the next steps for the Senate Democrats now that the IDC has reunited with the mainline Democrats? We found out when Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins joined us.

It was a crazy week of news. We broke down the news of the week with Ben Max, Executive Editor of Gotham Gazette, and Yancey Roy, Albany Bureau Chief for Newsday.

Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro has made his campaign for governor official. We’ll hear from the candidate on how he sees a path to victory in a state that hasn’t elected a statewide Republican in 16 years.

Finally, how are environmental activists reacting to the state budget? We’ll discuss it with Peter Iwanowicz, Executive Director of Environmental Advocates of New York State.
