New York 107th Assembly District

Earlier this week, New York Governor Kathy Hochul proposed a $252 billion budget with plans to provide free schools meals for schoolchildren, ban the use of cellphones in school, and distribute tax relief checks. However, some Republican legislators are concerned by the size of the budget. State Assemblyman Scott Bendett of the 107th District says it doesn’t address the state’s largest problem: lagging population growth. WAMC spoke with the Republican, whose district includes parts of Albany, Rensselaer, Washington and Columbia counties, in North Greenbush on Thursday about the proposed budget.

Democrats took a drubbing in Tuesday’s national elections, but the party is keeping control in the New York state legislature. As WAMC reports, some Capital Region Republicans also celebrated reelection wins.
