Disability advocates look to flex political muscle in Albany

from Dispatches from Planet Albany

New Yorkers with disabilities have no problem finding rhetorical support in Albany, but champions willing and able to deliver meaningful funding and policies are harder to find.  We explore this dynamic, including how it might change, with Michael Schweinsburg, president of the 504 Democratic Club, a political advocacy group that endorsed Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado for governor. We touch on the demands of New Yorkers with disabilities and Gov. Kathy Hochul's record. Then Capitol Confidential author Dan Clark joins us for Working Rules to discuss the latest round in the battle between state Sen. James Skoufis and the governor.  And if you enjoy Dispatches from Planet Albany, please leave us a rating and consider becoming a recurring contributor to support the podcast (because we could really use the money).
