I’m excited to continue my series about Lower Manhattan’s living history with a chat with my good friend Johnny Dynell, a legend of the Downtown music and arts scene. Johnny has way more stories than can fit into a short video, but hopefully this gives you a fun taste.

Did you know that our legislature actually *can* pass important bills in a timely manner? 🤯 In this episode of State Government 101: how a bill I co-authored passed in just 13 months, and why it’s so difficult for most legislation to make it through NY’s state legislature.
