Willie Terry has audio from the unveiling of the Kevin Pryor Way, the honorary street sign at 7th and Ingalls Ave in Troy for our local organizer, Kevin Pryor.

After that, we talk about forest bathing and an upcoming event with Victoria Gather.

And finally, I speak with Albany Institute, uh... or I take listeners to Albany Institute, where Mexico masks and rituals, photographs by Phyllis Colombo, is currently on display with an artist talk taking place on Sunday, October 18th.

This program comes from the Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, New York.

Build More Get More Act, uh, is the, uh, proposed bill to, uh... aims to incentivize New York State municipalities to build more housing by providing them a minimum of $10,000 per house unit.

There is a link to, uh, learn more at this on our website, and correspondent Arbor May spoke with Assembly Member Gabriella Romero to learn more.

All right, so today we have Assembly Member Gabriella Romero with us, uh, to talk about the Build More Get More Act.

Senator Webb, the legislative bill's sponsor, says they simply ran out of time with a very delayed budget.

Some state lawmakers, like Assemblymember Gabriela Romero, a Democrat representing parts of the capital region, says this issue is something at the top of their minds for next session.

I'm really interested in tackling this.

I also attended one of the budget hearings, state legislative hearings about the MWBE process and how frustrating it is to get access to the funds.
