As the June primary approaches, the clash between Constantino and Smullen is turning personal. You won't believe what they said about each other on live radio.

Governor Hochul has laid out an ambitious vision for New York, but not everyone is on board. It’s shaping up to be a contentious year ahead.

"We Got It Done" is the slogan Governor Hochul is touting as the latest way to describe the New York State Budget that will be voted on starting today in Albany. "Better Late Than Never" is the slogan some Republicans are using as the budget reaches 37 days past the mandated deadline. Meanwhile, this budget is a "doozy" coming in at $245 billion and politicians will have just a few hours to attempt a review before voting begins.

Some 20 Republican candidates have lobbied and spent their own money, a Democratic candidate has been declared, and now the nomination of Elise Stefanik as Ambassador to the United Nations has been pulled by the White House.

The NY-21 congressional seat that was expected to be vacant back in early January is about to open up, triggering a special election to be scheduled soon.

The Democratic plan to push the special election calendar to replace Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) to June in what critics believe was an effort to delay President Trump from moving his agenda forward, is now dead on arrival in Albany.

Governor Kathy Hochul's budget is out as of Tuesday and Republican State Assemblyman Robert Smullen (R,C-Mohawk Valley and the Adirondacks) is predicting if the budget is realized, it will move the state closer to a fiscal cliff.

As schools prepare for Tuesday's budget vote, there's an unease regarding school finances and anticipated state aid. State Senator Joe Griffo (R-Rome) organized a forum between local representatives, school administrators, and NYS Education Department Commissioner Betty Rosa, to make sure she understands the concerns of Upstate NY schools.

The son of Assemblyman Robert Smullen, who was struck by a car and critically injured last week, has a traumatic brain injury and is fighting strong "hour by hour. day by day," according a Facebook post.

The son of 118th NYS Assemblyman Robert Smullen remains in critical condition at the pediatric ICU at Albany Medical Center, according to a post today on his Facebook page.

The reduction of road salt used on icy roads in Upstate New York will be a benefit to the environment and the protection of clean drinking water, according to Assemblyman Robert Smullen (R,C,Ref-Meco).
