This week on From the Lobby with Jack O’Donnell, we break down the money moves and political fights that could shape what you pay and what your city gets.

Jack gives it to us straight. What’s smart, what’s risky, and what it all means.

In this episode, we dig into:

• Why the governor is sending another $1.5 billion to New York City
• Mayor Mamdani’s push for higher taxes and his warning about a possible property tax hike.
• Buffalo’s $40 million bailout and whether the state can keep writing these checks
• The state comptroller’s warning about weakening oversight of billions in spending
• What President Trump needs to accomplish in his upcoming State of the Union address

Listen to Jack’s candid conversation!
