This week on "Off The Cuff," Melanie is joined by Karen and Nalia to discuss the two active lawsuits against the Department of Education's (ED) final rule on loan programs. Karen explains what the lawsuits entail, where states, nursing and physician assistant organizations argue against ED's definition of "professional" degree programs, which will be subject to higher loan limits compared to graduate degree programs. Nalia then walks listeners through the House's fiscal year (FY) 2027 budget proposal, along with other details from the House Appropriations Committee's recent markup. From there, Karen gives a quick update from ED regarding the FPS C Flag associated with Comment Code 352. Melanie closes the episode by highlighting and detailing sessions of NASFAA's National Conference, which is nearly two weeks away, and NASFAA's Virtual Summit, which is set for July. 

This week we're covering the tax changes in the Governor's revised budget proposal.

Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled his eighth and final budget proposal today, with a possible presidential bid on the horizon and a crowded field of candidates jockeying to succeed him.

Last week, the White House released its budget proposal for fiscal year 2027, featuring an increase of 42% in defense spending to $1.5 trillion and a 10% decrease in non-defense spending to $660 billion. Specifically, the White House requested the budget to increase the capacity of the Navy, give pay raises to troops, resupply munitions, invest in critical resources, and build a “Golden Dome” missile defense system. The administration characterized the non-defense spending it had identified to cut as part of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and “woke programs” that drive government waste.

Dr. Tony Watlington Sr. summed it up plain and simple: “We are not a cash-rich school district.” Accordingly, the superintendent has some big budget cuts in mind - to the tune of what he projects could be nine-figure savings over the next four years. On top of that, Watlington believes his plan would not only eliminate the School District of Philadelphia's deficit, but do so without personnel lay-offs. He shares his vision with KYW Newsradio Education Reporter Mike DeNardo, and says there could always be wiggle room for him to tweak the plan. 00:00 How the school district could make up to $225 million in cuts 03:58 The need to eliminate contracts with vendors providing low return-on-investment 05:56 What message could budget cuts send to district financial stakeholders  Have a question for Dr. Watlington?

KSTP-TV political reporter Tom Hauser joins with the highlights from Governor Walz's supplemental budget proposal unveiled yesterday and more from things happening this week in St. Paul.

Michael Sol Warren, New Jersey reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, talks about Gov. Mikie Sherrill's first budget plan, which she says will address property taxes and school funding, as well as the proposed cut to the Stay NJ tax relief program, which aimed to keep seniors from leaving the state.   Photo: New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill gives the Budget Address in the Assembly Chambers of the Statehouse in Trenton, N.J. on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.

Just two weeks after digesting the details of Governor Whitmer's final Executive Budget proposal, one thing is certain: it's going to be a very interesting watch as Michigan policymakers tackle and negotiate the fiscal year 2027 budget. Senior Research Council staff Craig Thiel and Bob Schneider chat with Guy Gordon, walking through some of the most consequential pressure points as lawmakers craft a budget that will pass both chambers and be signed by the Governor. Multiple federal and state policy changes over the past year have set the stage for General Fund revenue that is expected to be down by more than $1.2 billion from the May 2025 forecast, an 8.3 percent decrease. Additionally, state budget writers will need to address federal cost shifts that place greater burdens on states for Medicaid and food assistance programs. The key challenge for budget writers during FY2027 budget deliberations will be addressing deficits rather than allocating surpluses, as has been the case for several consecutive years. Any new investment proposals that increase the budget will require additional dollar-for-dollar reductions to offset their impact. To quote Schneider: “It's going to be a really interesting budget cycle. In an election year, you're usually always done by July 1st, but I'm not so sure that's going to happen this year.”

Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled his first preliminary budget this week, creating some controversy as he revealed that it includes a proposal to raise property taxes on millions of city homeowners if Gov. Kathy Hochul doesn't agree to a tax hike on the rich. Was it simply a political bluff, or was the mayor serious? NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Ayana Harry and Dan Rivoli break down his plan. Meanwhile, Mamdani took one step toward fulfilling his promise to freeze rents for stabilized tenants, while appearing to reverse course on a vow to end homeless encampment sweeps. On Wednesday, the mayor appointed six members to the nine-member Rent Guidelines Board, which is tasked with setting rents for the city's approximately 1 million stabilized units. He also said his administration would bring back encampment sweeps, under a modified policy overseen by the Department of Homeless Services rather than the NYPD. The "Off Topic" team weighs in on the mayor's latest moves.

In this episode of The Finest Unfiltered, we break down Zohran Mamdani's budget proposal, the numbers behind it, and what it means for public safety, infrastructure, and the future of New York City.

The White House has released its Fiscal Year 2026 congressional budget justification for NASA, and the implications are staggering.

Sarah Al-Ahmed is joined by Jack Kiraly, The Planetary Society’s director of government relations, to examine what’s in the nearly 500-page document, what it means for the future of space science and exploration, and how advocates can still act to save NASA science.
