How "Medical Aid in Dying" got an Assembly vote
from Dispatches from Planet Albany
Controversial legislation allowing terminally ill New Yorkers to end their lives with the help of a doctor received a vote in the Assembly this spring, surprising Capitol observers because the measure divided important constituencies in the Assembly majority, has no guarantee of getting a vote in the Senate and might be dead on arrival if it gets to the governor. To learn how the floor vote came together, we talked with the measure's Assembly sponsor, Westchester County Democrat Amy Paulin. And then we're joined by Times Union Capitol reporter Raga Justin to recap our experience at Queens Day and review Gov. Kathy Hochul's cake recipe.
