AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoCommuter Crisis: Gov. Kathy Hochul pleaded with Long Island Rail Road unions to return to bargaining as the strike—LIRR’s first in about 30 years—entered its second day, shutting down service for roughly 300,000 riders and threatening Monday’s Memorial Day commute; the MTA says there’s “no substitute,” while the state is lining up shuttle buses and urging remote work. Labor & Politics: The walkout follows three years without raises in negotiations, and Hochul is warning the longer it drags on, the more it erodes workers’ gains. Albany Watch: Separate from the transit fight, New York’s climate disclosure push is gaining steam, with a proposed corporate emissions reporting law moving through the legislative pipeline. Local Quality-of-Life: City lawmakers are pushing the SCOOP Act to tackle dog waste with bag dispensers, education, and composting pilots.
