As Gov. Kathy Hochul hurries to get the state budget ready by April 1, she’s receiving help from an unlikely source: Michael Bloomberg. The former New York City mayor’s support is in the form of paid television ads, which outline the governor’s agenda, including no new taxes on the wealthy and changing bail reform. NY1’s Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Courtney Gross weighed in on Bloomberg’s $5 million contribution and the reaction it has received from state lawmakers.

After that, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is in the spotlight as his ongoing investigation of former President Donald Trump has become national news. The team looked at Bragg’s brief and sometimes controversial tenure so far and how the pursuit of Trump has been construed as being politically motivated by many Republicans. 

We want to hear from you, especially what you think of the indictment against Trump.
