Jimmy Vielkind

Hochul and Blakeman from Tuesday night's debate on issues related to the Marble Hill shooting.

We have more excerpts to play on this and on public safety generally, which that kind of segued into in their exchanges, and we'll get analysis now and invite your questions and reactions with Jimmy Vielkind, New York State issues reporter for WNYC and Gothamist.

Hi, Jimmy.

Thanks for helping out with this.

Uh, how much of that is responsible for what is great, a, a drop in crime, a drop, uh, right now, as you said, and as Errol Louis, the moderator, said, by most measures, crime is, is at, uh, in a, in a much better place than it was four years ago? Uh, I don't know the answer to that.

And that's 30 Issues in 30 Days, Issue 18, the Marble Hill ice shooting and public safety generally as issues in the New York State gubernatorial race.

We thank our New York State issues reporter, Jimmy Vielkind, for all the analysis.

Jimmy, thanks so much.

The company says it will bring 50,000 jobs to central New York.

For Kate, and for a lot of people in the region, the question is how soon? WNYC and Gothamist reporter Jimmy Vielkind went to Syracuse to see what's riding on this.

[upbeat music] Hey, Jimmy.

Welcome to the show.

Welcome back to NYC Now.

This week in our series on the cost of living in New York, we're in Syracuse, where the chip maker Micron is building a massive plant it says it will bring 50,000 jobs.

I'm talking with WNYC and Gothamist reporter Jimmy Vielkind about who gets credit for it, Governor Hochul or Republican officials.

Jimmy, what does Hochul's Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman have to say about this?

He's set to appear with President Donald Trump out in Syracuse.

WNYC and Gothamist reporter Jimmy Vielkind was out on the campaign trail this week, and he joins me now to break it all down.

Jimmy, welcome to the Capitol Press Room.

Happy to be back, John.

But we know from... are reporting that the governor actively pushed back to take out some of the stricter provisions in that bill that would have given New York officials the ability to stop the release of frontier models that they felt were unsafe.

So she is clearly trying to find a position that... first responds to the concerns of voters over data centers and the use of power, makes sure that AI does not cause massive disruptions to the economy, but also allows New York to maintain its position as a desirable place for these tech and AI firms to do business.

If you're just joining us, we're joined by Jimmy Vielkind.

He's a reporter for WNYC in Gotham.

We were just hearing from TWU President John Samuelsen.

And now I want to invite my colleagues from the WNYC and Gotham Newsroom to join me, Jimmy Vielkind in Albany, Elizabeth Kim here in Manhattan.

And we also have a very special guest panelist today, our very own Clayton Guse, Transportation and Infrastructure Editor, who surely has many thoughts about my conversation with John Samuelsen.

I want to welcome everybody.

Trump? Well, we will talk about that and much more on our next episode.

That's all the time we have for today.

My thanks to Elizabeth Kim, Jimmy Vielkind, Clayton Busa, and all of you, our listeners.

Join me again next Thursday for more of Who's Running This Place.

So first, child care.

WNYC and Gothamist reporter Jimmy Vielkind has been looking at what the political divide over child care means for the families who rely on daycares like Taylor's and for the daycares trying to stay open.

Hey, Jimmy, welcome to the show.

Hey, Janae.

Welcome back to NYC Now.

I'm talking with WNYC reporter Jimmy Vielkind about the growing cost of childcare in New York and the very different ideas Governor Hochul and her Republican challenger, Bruce Blakeman, have about fixing it.

Before the break, we heard about Hochul's approach, which is expanding the state's childcare assistance program.

A New York state program is expanding to help people whose jobs are threatened by artificial intelligence.

The New York Public News Network's Jimmy Vielkind has more.

Governor Hochul says the state will cover the cost of community college for people who go back to school for high-demand careers.

The Democrat is opening the SUNY Reconnect program to people who already have college degrees.

It covers coursework in fields like nursing, advanced manufacturing, construction technology, and cybersecurity.

Applications are open now for classes starting in January.

In Albany, I'm Jimmy Vielkind for the New York Public News Network.

think you know about Connecticut's manufacturing industry well you might be surprised to know how big it really is and some of the places where it happens across the state a conversation on that is coming up
