It's definitely very busy out there.

The governor's action is reckless in its disregard for the health care needs of all New Yorkers.

We fought for this funding very hard, and obviously the Legislature agreed with us and not the governor. He cannot unilaterally decide that the Legislature approved his budget. That's clearly not what happened.

We stayed neutral. We continued to get calls about it, and we made it clear to the county leaders and anyone who asked that we were staying out and deferring to the members of the Council to make that choice.

The question is whether or not you're going to put it into things to improve quality of care, or whether you're just going to get a blank check.

I suspect any serious reader has a first great book, just the way anybody has a first kiss.
