Longtime journalists Bill Hammond and Nick Reisman joined the show to discuss Andrew Cuomo's record as Governor of New York, with a focus on Cuomo's leadership style. Cuomo, leading the polls in the 2025 Democratic primary for Mayor of New York City, was Governor from January 2011 to August 2021. Hammond - formerly of the New York Daily News and now at the Empire Center - and Reisman, formerly of Capitol Tonight/State of Politics and now at Politico New York - have both covered Cuomo for many years and, in this discussion, help host Ben Max recap Cuomo's decade in power. This is the first in a series of Max Politics episodes that will examine Cuomo's record as Governor and bid to become Mayor. Cuomo has been invited to appear on the show himself but has yet to accept the invitation. Stay tuned for other episodes in this series. (Ep 498)

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collectors to own a precious piece of New Zealand art.

A mural recreating a painting by the late Bill Hammond is about to be added to Nelson's ambitious ArtWalk project. Rather than being painted onto the sides of buildings, the murals are printed onto aluminium then securely attached to the sides of buildings around the city. The paintings are selected from Nelson's Suter Art Gallery collection and local fundraising has paid for the murals. The Hammond work is the 23rd of 28 murals that will make up ArtWalk, with the organisers saying it's been a huge hit with the community. Prime mover Anne Rush talks to Lynn Freeman about the project. And if you're in Nelson look out for the Bill Hammond work that's going to be installed this week.

How is vaccine rollout going in New York State? This week we heard important updates from Governor Andrew Cuomo about the vaccination effort happening now in the state, but a lot of details are still missing. While the Cuomo Administration says that some of those are still being worked out -- as the situation remains fluid -- there have been real questions raised about the state's ability to rollout the vaccine to an effective number of people by it's self-imposed guidance. Governor Cuomo has said repeatedly that the state should hit critical mass by late-summer or early-fall at latest. However, Bill Hammond of the Empire Center says that projection could be significantly off after what we've seen play out in recent weeks since vaccine distribution began. Today is the second part of our conversation with Bill Hammond of the Empire Center.

On September 1st, Bill Hammond of the Empire Center published a piece providing an update to a FOIL request connected to New York State's response to the coronavirus pandemic in nursing homes. Hammond and the Empire Center was seeking the data on the full-death toll associated with the pandemic in nursing homes. A FOIL request had been submitted in early-August. It sought a count of all nursing home residents who have died from COVID-19. It specifically sought the number who had died after being transferred to hospitals in their final days, which the department has been leaving out of its official tally. After several delays, and the calendar turning to a new year - the FOIL request remains unfulfilled. In this special two-part episode of the FL1 Daily Podcast we look at what brought us here - and the debate that has unfolded repeatedly around nursing homes.

Stu does ... Twitter in real life! Stu goes through some recent examples that empirically prove once and for all: Twitter is NOT real life. Never was, never will be. And, Bill Hammond from the Empire Center is here to discuss his organization's lawsuit against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to force his administration to release the real statistics and fallout from the governor's decision to house COVID-19-positive patients in nursing homes.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that parts of Rochester and Syracuse would enter Orange Zone designation. It's part of New York State's Coronavirus micro-cluster mitigation strategy. It means focusing economic restrictions -- like pausing non-essential business activity -- to specific zip codes. For example, reducing the number of people who can be seated at a restaurant table in a yellow zone, or pausing dine-in service altogether in orange zones. There are specific parameters for Yellow, Orange, and Red micro-cluster zones, which is effectively a balance between the economic consequences of shutting down non-essential businesses, and trying to preserve public health -- all in the midst of a global pandemic. But here's a question: Has it worked? Bill Hammond, Senior Fellow For Health Policy at the Empire Center, recently took a dive into the data. What he uncovered didn't surprise him, but for casual observers of the state's ongoing response to the Coronavirus Pandemic -- the recent surge of cases suggests the micro-cluster mitigation strategy isn't working as intended. The positivity rate inside the zones across New York State has declined, but the overall numbers in New York State are spiking. Hammond wrote, “In the six weeks since the cluster strategy was launched, New York's rate of new infections has increased by 244 percent, to almost 5,000 per day. The number of people hospitalized has nearly doubled, to more than 2,000. And the seven-day average death rate has increased by 125 percent, to 30 per day.” Today on The Daily Debrief a conversation with Hammond about his reporting, and what the numbers tell us as more communities across New York State are painted shades of yellow, orange, and red.
