This episode of the CUNY FORUM examines a turbulent moment in New York politics, marked by delayed budgets, power struggles between city and state leaders, and uncertainty heading into the midterm elections. Panelists debate whether the dysfunction reflects normal political friction or deeper systemic problems, while highlighting affordability as the dominant issue driving voter frustration and political momentum.
