Good afternoon — it’s Monday and Cinco de Mayo.

In today’s CapCon:

  • We still don’t have any budget bills but that could change tonight or tomorrow.

  • But we did learn more Monday on items within the budget, including the human services COLA, power for Hochul to cut spending and changes at prisons.

  • The Legislature has scheduled a hearing in response to the death of Robert Brooks at Marcy Correctional Facility in December.

  • A top priority for environmental advocates is set to move through a committee this week that tees it up for a floor vote.

  • This Week in New York History: Carnegie Hall and the New York Herald.

Names in today’s CapCon: Kathy Hochul, Michael Gianaris, Carl E. Heastie, Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Ashley Ranslow, Health Mulligan, Mario Cilento, Robert Brooks, Messiah Nantwi,
