🔊Listen: ESD’s Kevin Younis sits down with @PolicyOutsider to discuss how New York State attracted @MicronTech and other semiconductor manufacturers and R&D and what it means for the future of the Empire State ⬇️
How did New York land Micron's $100B deal? Federal & state policy changes were integral, as were local government partnerships. @EmpireStateDev's Kevin Younis joins to discuss the negotiations and deal-making that secured NY's landmark semiconductor deal. rockinst.org/issue-area/ep-6…
Everyone should give this new podcast from my colleagues at @RockefellerInst and @PolicyOutsider a listen. The catchy title reference to @taylorswift13 is an added bonus.
The Ticketmaster-Taylor Swift ticket purchasing debacle brought renewed attention to the stranglehold Ticketmaster holds on the live music industry. NYS Senator @JamesSkoufis, a leading champion of ticket reform legislation, joins to break it all down.🔊 rockinst.org/issue-area/ep-6…

Hearing aids are now available over the counter. In a new analysis, @KStackWhitney highlights the extent of the need for these assistive devices and explores whether OTC hearing aids alone will be enough to close the gap between need and access. rockinst.org/blog/can-over-t…
🚨 NEW Fire district elections determine who will serve on a board that can raise significant taxpayer revenue. Yet these elections, which take place on the second Tuesday of December, off-cycle from town & village elections, are largely overlooked. Why? rockinst.org/blog/off-cycle-…
