This week on From the Lobby with Jack O’Donnell, we check in with Jack on where things stand right now, from ongoing budget talks in Albany to policy debates that could have real impacts in the weeks ahead.

In this episode:

• Albany budget talks: Why things seem to be moving slowly

• Energy policy & costs: The governor is signaling changes, but will the Legislature go along?

• Auto Insurance reform: A push to lower costs faces an uphill battle after being left out of One-House budget proposals

• Unified Ireland discussion: What you should know and why New York leaders are part of the conversation

• U.S. and Iran tensions: What a recent Senate vote says about the direction of U.S. policy

• Voting laws and the midterms: A Republican-backed bill gets attention, but what are its chances?

Jack walks us through it all! Give it a listen!
