April 10th, 2021 - Zeldin announcement, state budget impacts, Mattituck high school senior, outdoor dining, and what legal marijuana means for the Shinnecock

This week, the panel discusses U.S. Representative Lee Zeldin’s announcement that he will seek the Republican nomination to run for governor in 2022, the passage of the state’s $212 billion budget and what that will mean for local school districts and the undocumented population, a Mattituck School senior who gained quite a bit of attention for dressing in “goth” for her senior picture, the return of outdoor dining this summer, and the legalization of recreational marijuana and what that might mean for the Shinnecock Nation in Southampton.
