Good afternoon — it’s Monday and International Hemp Day.

In today’s CapCon:

  • Should we expect a state budget deal this week? Maybe, but probably not tomorrow with talks still open.

  • Mental health advocates want lawmakers to push the state to use incident review panels as part of involuntary commitment talks.

  • At the Capitol: What’s on deck for Tuesday and the week, as of now.

  • Schumer plans to force a vote on Trump’s tariffs, which he says can’t be offset in the state budget.

  • New York is no longer a “donor state.” But DiNapoli says it could be again soon.

  • This Week in New York History: New York’s first license plates, the Assembly member who killed his wife’s lover and the start of Cornell

Names in today’s CapCon: Kathy Hochul, Malik Evans, Donald J. Trump, Charles E. Schumer, Thomas P. DiNapoli, Jabari Brisport, Shelley Mayer, Brian Cunningham

The state budget was due April 1. We’re keeping you updated on negotiations around the spending plan in the meantime.

💰 A state budget deal is not expected tomorrow

I hope you all had a restful weekend and, if you celebrate, a joyful holiday. You’re going to need it for this week and next.
