Good afternoon — it’s Tuesday and National Zipper Day.

• But we learned a few more details on what’s expected to be in the spending plan.

• The Assembly approved a bill to legalize physician-assisted death, called medical aid in dying by supporters.

• New bills seek to address two big problems in New York: carbon emissions from buildings and staffing shortages among nurses.
