Very informative interviews on all/most of the issues being considered for the state.
Content is excellent. I always get important information with every episode…that I have not heard anywhere else. NYS government is truly taking steps to improve our state. From recycling to filing tax returns. Well worth the listen.
Unique stories delivered with honest inquiry. Loved the municipal broadband and I hope you follow up. also keen to know more on the chips coverage. Great work
