Hey, it’s Dan. Welcome to the week.
In today’s CapCon, five years after New York launched a mandate for police reform, an investigation from the Times Union has the results — including what we don’t know from the data.
Then, a state assistant attorney general said in an email to hundreds of employees at the state attorney general’s office that he was ordered by his boss to investigate President Donald J. Trump and others in his orbit.
Later, Gov. Kathy Hochul was endorsed Monday by more than two dozen upstate Democrats in the state Legislature as she seeks a second term in office.
And, rural ambulance networks in New York would be given a much-needed lifeline under a newly introduced bill in response to a state task force’s report.
Bonus: What’s happening this week in state government and a *new* section you’ll start to see that I’m calling New Data to Digest.
