As state budget negotiations intensified in Albany ahead of an April 1 deadline, an influential Brooklyn state senator said he is in favor, at least in principle, of a proposal to institute a congestion pricing plan to get vehicles off clogged Midtown Manhattan streets and another idea that would double the number of speed cameras outside of New York City schools. But state Sen. Marty Golden , the only Republican state senator representing a Brooklyn district, said his support is contingent on getting certain provisions into both bills.
Tucked into President Trump's budget is funding to construct a cemetery in Queens for at least 50,000 veterans as part of a new effort to expand burial options in densely populated cities for families of service members. Unlike a traditional cemetery, the site in St. Albans would be an outdoor columbarium only for the cremated remains of New York City area service members and their spouses.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is fresh off a winning reelection bid and clearly has things on his mind which range far beyond the problems plaguing the Big Apple.

Our hope was to catch rats in various iconic locations around New York-a park, a subway station, midtown-and fit them with tracking collars that could capture the rhythms of city life from the rats' perspective. We dreamed of eventually giving them tiny GoPros and microphones, of visualizing days lived near the third rail or under the watch of a red-tailed hawk.
Melania Trump released a letter Wednesday from an immigration attorney that provided more detail on what she said was her legal pathway to U.S. citizenship. But the Slovenian-born wife of the GOP presidential nominee did not publish any part of her immigration file - official documents that would put to rest questions about whether she followed immigration law.
As Americans reflect and pay tribute every year on September 11, an unusual ad often resurfaces - a Budweiser commercial that aired just one time. In 2002, the beer brand debuted a one-minute commercial showing the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales traveling to New York City and bowing before the lower Manhattan skyline as a sign of respect.
A giant "T" is displayed on Sam Pirozzolo's lawn in the borough of Staten Island in New York, Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2016. Days after the torching of a giant "T" tribute to Donald Trump on a New York City lawn, a new, even bigger red-white-and-blue letter has risen on the same grass spot.

Schumer called on House and Senate leadership to suspend congressional recess-for even just one day-and pass a $1.9 billion emergency funding bill that is needed to fight the Zika spread. Specifically, Schumer explained that phase one of Zika vaccine trials began this week but without passing this bill, the dollars for the next phases of vaccine clinical trials will cease.
