Brian Laird on WNYC, New Jersey's new governor, Mikey Cheryl, is closing in on 100 days in office.

Remember that inauguration was January 20th, not New Year's Day.

So Mayor Mamdani has passed 100 days. Governor Cheryl is not quite there yet. At about day 86 last Wednesday,

she sat down with WNYC's Michael Hill for the first installment of Ask Governor Cheryl. To make a point

about today, she looked back to her first few minutes in office.

Not even in my first day in my first few minutes. I stopped my inaugural address to sign two

executive orders to both freeze rate hikes and to cut through some red tape and permitting issues

so we could expand generation. Yeah, expand generation. Well, you'll hear

she seems to be waving the white flag to President Trump on one aspect of that, which would be adding

much wind power. She also answered some big questions about the World Cup logistics nightmare

bearing down on the metal land. So many people are talking about that.

$100 one way, $150 round trip ticket on NJ Transit trains from Manhattan to go to the games.

We'll talk about that. Also discuss the structurally complicated state budget and a running

fight with the White House. With us now after that Ask Governor Murphy,

asked Governor Sherrill with Michael Hill, is a different local Michael. That's WNYC, New Jersey

reporter Michael Saul Warren, who listened very closely last week and wrote it up for Gothamist.

Hey Michael, welcome back to the show.

Hey, Brian. Thanks for having me. And New Jersey listeners, we want to hear from you. What's on

your mind about Governor Cheryl's first hundred days? Is she delivering on what she promised,

with its various moving parts? 212-433. WNYC, 212, 433-9-6-92. You can call, you can text
