WAMC's Dr. Alan Chartock discusses reports that Congress appears to be approaching a compromise on a $900 billion coronavirus relief package. Dr. Chartock also considers whether New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will have to raise taxes on the state's wealthy residents to address a massive budget gap. Also in the headlines: President-elect Joe Biden says he has been briefed on a number of cybersecurity breaches recently identified by the U.S. government.

Dr. Alan Chartock is professor emeritus at the University at Albany. He hosts the weekly Capitol Connection series, heard on public radio stations around New York. The program, for almost 12 years, highlighted interviews with Governor Mario Cuomo and now continues with conversations with state political leaders. Dr. Chartock also appears each week on The Media Project and The Roundtable and offers commentary on Morning Edition, weekdays at 7:40 a.m.
