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

In today’s CapCon:

  • The state budget is done, right? Wrong. Loose ends remain, lawmakers say.

  • 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.

Names in today’s CapCon: Kathy Hochul, Brian Kavanagh, Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Amy Paulin, Liz Krueger, J. Gary Pretlow, Bobby Carroll, Toby Stavisky, Rachel May

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