    1963, with Andy Byford and Peter Cipriano

    1963 was the year the original Penn Station began to be demolished. To many, it was a tragedy, demonstrating how steep the cost of progress can be. While the station that rose in its stead has in many ways exceeded expectations, it's past time for an overhaul.  With the site's political and infrastructural constraints, finding a workable solution hasn't been easy, but a new one has emerged to lead the pack, steered by Andy "Train Daddy" Byford and Master Developer (and former CBC fellow) Peter Cipriano. Listen in.

  2. $11 billion, with Kathryn Garcia

    $11 billion, with Kathryn Garcia

    $11 billion is the amount the new Port Authority Bus Terminal is projected to cost, a quarter of PANYNJ's ten year capital plan and a keystone project for the region's travelers. It's still just a small piece of what the Port Authority—and its new executive, Kathryn Garcia—oversees. Garcia is now in charge of a vast network of essential infrastructure, including five airports, PATH, bridges and tunnels, marine terminals and the WTC campus. Her portfolio spans two states and faces myriad challenges from high demand to aging infrastructure and soaring materials costs. Luckily, Garcia is among the region's most capable and well-respected administrators.  We spoke to her about her vision for the Port Authority last week. Tune in.

    $124.7 billion, with NYC Budget Director Sherif Soliman

    $124.7 billion is the amount Mayor Mamdani proposes to spend in fiscal year 2027. The budget process is never simple, but this year the intensity ratcheted up. Revealing a large budget gap, the City administration negotiated with the State for aid to bridge it while simultaneously pursuing its ambitious programmatic agenda. Joining CBC to discuss the policy and politics is NYC Budget Director Sherif Soliman, a long-time public servant from three prior mayoral administrations. Together we dug into the key pillars of the City's budget strategy and how to protect NYC's competitiveness, as well as some of the big debates from property tax reform to CityFHEPS. Tune into this week's episode.

    21, with NYS Director of Operations Jackie Bray

    21 is the number of days late the State budget was when this episode was recorded. Policy negotiations are proving difficult to resolve, with high-stakes debates continuing over the Governor’s proposals to overhaul auto insurance, reform environmental review for housing construction, and advance the State’s climate agenda. This week, WTDP welcomes arguably the third most powerful person in the Governor's office for a funny and frank conversation to help us unpack it all. Jackie Bray, Director of New York State Operations, brings a wealth of public sector experience spanning city, state, and federal government. Tune in for her insider's perspective on the challenges and dynamics shaping negotiations.

  5. $127 billion, with Ana Champeny

    $127 billion, with Ana Champeny

    $127 billion is the size of NYC's Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2027. After reporting a yawning $12 billion budget gap estimate, Mayor Mamdani revised that number down to $5.4 billion, thanks in part to Governor Hochul's willingness to chip in. But don't let the shrinking gap fool you: the underlying problems will not go away without making some tough choices. The Mayor proposes to raise personal income, business and property taxes to close the gap, but are tax hikes really the City's only option? Here to help us explore the City's budget crisis and potential solutions is CBC's Vice President for Research Ana Champeny.

    $263 billion, with NYS Budget Director Blake Washington

    $263 billion is the size of the FY27 State budget proposed by Governor Hochul. With strong tax receipts, the State has enough to close next year's gap and put a dent in future gaps, plus fund universal childcare. But risks abound, including a structural budget gap and federal changes to Medicaid and SNAP. How is the State navigating all these competing forces in an election year? Should NYS be doing more for the City? What are the risks & benefits of higher taxes? We speak with Blake Washington, the State Budget Director, on all this and more in this week's episode.

    630,000 with Andy Byford

    630,000 is the number of riders who travel through Penn Station every day—making it the busiest transportation hub in the nation. The catch? It was designed, reportedly, for just 200,000. Revitalizing Penn Station is a bit of a white whale for its many stakeholders, including three transit agencies, two states, one city, and now, the Federal government. There is momentum at long last in part thanks to the head of the project for Amtrak, Andy "Train Daddy" Byford. So—what should the station look like? What will happen to MSG? Who will pay—and who's in charge? Listen in as CBC President Andrew Rein and Byford have a substantive conversation about the project's future.

    1,039,069 with Grace Rauh

    1,039,069 is the number of kids under the age of five in New York who could ultimately qualify for free or subsidized childcare under the Hochul/Mamdani plan. How should the State and City design a flexible program that meets the needs of diverse families? How should it be phased? What does "universal" mean exactly? And what is the budget impact in an uncertain fiscal environment? To help answer these questions and more is Grace Rauh, Executive Director of Citizens Union and a long-time advocate for childcare reform in New York City.
