Thank you for joining me for this week’s edition of the Albany Update podcast.
First, we need to talk about that Supreme Court ruling against Governor Andrew Cuomo’s religious gathering restrictions. What does it mean for churches?
Then, in a sign that the next legislative session is rapidly approaching, we’ll see that legislative conferences in the State Assembly re-elected their leadership.
Third, there is new polling that shows growing support for mobile sports betting. What are the odds of online betting becoming the next form of gambling expansion in Albany?
Finally, State Attorney General Letitia James released a report that asserts nearly thirty percent of all charitable donations is pocketed by professional fundraisers. I’ll tell you why you don’t have to worry about that with our organization.
With much to discuss, let’s get started.
