It's the Brian Laris show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. So yeah, it's the day 100. It's

And it's also day one of some consequential new policies in New York State that the governor

and legislature just agreed to last night in their annual budget agreement.

You may not have heard about these things yet. So we'll start there today.

We'll go on to Trump and authoritarianism and Trump and public health later in the hour.

But we're going to start in New York State with all these new policies on masks, on cell phones and

schools, on medical aid and dying for certain people who are terminally ill and want to choose that,

on removing people involuntarily from the streets, and also, yes, on some actual budget items

in the budget. Many of you will be getting a check in the mail from the state of New York,

it looks like. Some of you with kids will be getting a bigger break on your state income taxes, and there's more.

So let's go down this checklist and also invite some of your first reactions with John Campbell,

who covers Albany, for us here at WNYC and on Gothamist.

Thanks for coming on quick turnaround to follow this news this morning.

John, happy April 29th.

Happy April 29th, Brian.
