The one-house New York budget resolutions released this week include $7 to $8 billion in increased revenues, primarily higher taxes on the wealthy. While far below the $50 billion sought by the Invest in NY campaign, it would be a major increase over prior years. Mark Dunlea from WOOC discusses the various revenue proposals with Ron Deutsch with New Yorkers for Fiscal Fairness. Plus, after 38 years, Mark Quant is retiring as Director of the Regional Food Bank of NENY. The food bank provides food to 1,000 emergency food programs and other anti-hunger programs in 23 counties. He discusses with WOOC's Mark Dunlea how the food banks and the anti-hunger movement have evolved over the last four decades.
