Connections: Did You Get Your $350 Check From NYS?

Good tax policy or bribe? The state recently mailed thousands of checks for $350 out to NY families. Who got the money? Why is it being mailed so close to Election Day if this was agreed upon nearly 18 months ago? We'll look at the politics, and we'll explore whether this is actually effective fiscal and economic policy. We'll hear (in pre-recorded comments) from Joe Morelle and Brian Kolb. Then we talk with our in-studio guests:

  • Erika Rosenberg, Associate Director of the Center for Governmental Research
  • Andrea Hickerson, RIT journalism professor
