A week overdue, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democrats in the state legislature finally reached a massive budget agreement. As NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez explain, the $220 billion deal includes changes to the controversial bail reform laws approved just a few years ago, as well as funding for a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills, which will be partially financed by taxpayers. But is this massive budget a victory for Governor Hochul as she gears up for primary season?

Zack, Juan and Courtney also weigh in on the historic union victory at an Amazon warehouse on Staten Island. They comment on the grassroots campaign that delivered this monumental blow to the tech giant and explain what it might mean for the labor movement across the country.

We want to hear from you, especially what you think about the push to unionize Amazon.
