We sit down with Assemblymember Josh Jensen to discuss New York’s 2023-2024 budget. It’s the latest in our series of conversations with local state lawmakers about the budget. We hear Assemblymember Jensen’s perspective on a number issues, including bail form, housing, childcare, and more. Our guest:

Then in our second hour, we’re joined by Richard Rothstein and Leah Rothstein, co-authors of “Just Action: Creating a Movement That Can End Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law.” In Richard Rothstein’s first book, “The Color of Law,” he explained how government created segregation in housing.
