Jim reviews the general pluses and minuses of the New York state budget (recently, the NYS House and Senate passed their own separate versions; the full legislature has yet to pass a final version) and also dives more deeply into the affordable housing crisis, especially as it relates to the budget and what's happening in Albany.  His guests are Assemblymember Robert Carroll (D-44th AD, Brooklyn), Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon (D- 52nd AD, Brooklyn), and Rachel Fee, Executive Director of the New York Housing Conference.
