Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?

Stewart-Cousins eyes ‘progressive taxation’ push

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY TUESDAY. This is Nick Reisman in Albany. Massive Democratic majorities are returning to Albany in January, giving a boost to the tax-the-rich forces. I’ve got new reporting on that dynamic. Plus my colleague has the details on a New York City Council hearing next month on student sexual assault. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at nreisman@politico.com . Driving The Day A MASSIVE MAJORITY : Legislative Democrats will come roaring back to Albany next year with turbocharged majorities in the state Senate and Assembly. They intend to use that refreshed mandate to major effect — especially when it comes to pursuing what Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called “progressive taxation.” “We’ve always looked at the ability of those with extraordinary wealth to be able to pay more, do more,” she told Playbook in an interview Monday. “That’s been something that our conference has talked about.” What those proposals will look like won’t be clear for months. But if the past is any guide , the Democrat-dominated Legislature will likely seek a suite of income tax hikes on the richest New Yorkers — changes designed to generate

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”

New York proposes reclassifying Newtown Creek to strengthen its water quality protections

New York State environmental regulators want to reclassify Newtown Creek, the industrial waterway separating Brooklyn from Queens, in a move that would lock in the strongest water quality protections the creek has ever had, and the public has until November 30 to comment.
