It's the Brian Lera Show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

This may not be what you were thinking about over Mother's Day weekend, but as we sit here on May 11th,

there is no New York State

budget for the fiscal year that began when, all the way back on April 1st. So let's take stock

of what's in, because some things are in that are very consequential, what's out, and what's

still being debated as of this morning. Some big things appear to be in,

including a piettaire tax of a certain kind as the version of taxing the rich that Governor

Hockel and Mayor Mabdani could agree on. There's an interesting point of uncertainty about how that

would be evaluated and applied. We'll talk about that. Also, a provision to cooperate

less with ice. This hasn't gotten so much notice, but it was certainly noticed by border

czar Tom Holman, who basically told New York, you do that, it's going to backfire. Listen.

What's going to happen in places like New York, and people want to pass this ridiculous legislation not to work with us, we're going to flood the zone.

You're going to see more ice agents you ever seen before.

So congratulations. Because when we send these teams out there, we'll find a bad guy, most times you do.

And when we find a bad guy,'s with others others who may not be a

priority target but they're in the country legally there weren't people who are looking for but we found

them during these operations well guess what they're coming too they're coming and i know the sound

on there was a little off mic. He was speaking at an event,

but I think it was audible. More ice, not less in New York. If this bill goes through, Tom

Homan says. And if you're confused about the state of the whole thing, why shouldn't you be?

After all, Governor Hockel said this last Thursday.
