    Comptroller Tom DiNapoli on New York’s financial future and reelection
    Nov 6 2025
    New York is facing a multibillion dollar gap heading into next year’s state budget because of decisions made at both the state and federal levels. State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli joins us with analysis on how those conversations could play out at the state Capitol and what they could mean for the state’s finances. DiNapoli is also seeking reelection next year and is facing a primary challenge from at least two Democrats. We speak with him about his record and the case he plans to make to voters.

    New York’s farms produce the milk in your fridge, the grapes in your wine and the cannabis I’m sure you don’t own. That work isn’t easy and it becomes even harder when government gets in the way. We talk about challenges New York’s farms are facing this week with Renée St. Jacques, director of public policy at the New York Farm Bureau.

    Assemblywoman Pamela J. Hunter is both the referee and the conductor of Assembly proceedings. As speaker pro tempore, she presides over session in the Assembly, where she keeps things moving while keeping the peace. But there’s a lot you probably don’t know about her, like how she also leads a national group of legislators who work on insurance law. We spoke about her work, what led her to this moment and a new call to change the Sex Offender Registration Act. Who you’re hearing: Dan Clark (social links) Assemblywoman Pamela J.
