MacEwen shares his candid take on what he calls one of the most frustrating sessions he's experienced—highlighting $10 billion in new taxes, rising fees, and limited bipartisan cooperation. He discusses concerns over the budget's sustainability, impacts on working-class families, and potential consequences of rent cap legislation in the 35th District. From gas taxes to property tax shifts, Drew outlines what local residents can expect—and where he hopes the governor might still intervene.
