Veteran suicides up in NY: Utica nonprofit gets $750K prevention grant

The Utica Center for Development was awarded a $750,000 federal grant to expand its veteran suicide prevention efforts. The nonprofit will use the grant money to strengthen suicide prevention services including community outreach, peer support, individualized case management, suicide prevention education and connections to mental health services and other resources for veterans. The money will support a program team of about 10 employees dedicated to helping veterans and their families navigate challenges that can contribute to suicide risk. These risk factors include social isolation, financial instability, housing insecurity and barriers to accessing care. The center will provide these services in 13 counties that include rural and underserved communities where access to suicide prevention and support services has been limited. Those counties include Oneida, Herkimer, Madison, Otsego, Lewis, Fulton, Hamilton, Jefferson, Albany, Delaware, Greene, St. Lawrence and Ulster. "Every veteran deserves to know that help is available, that their life matters and that they are never alone," said Vincent Scalise, CEO of the Utica Center for Development, in a statement. "This $750,000 investment will allow us to strengthen our outreach efforts, build meaningful relationships, and connect veterans with the support they need before challenges become crises. “Our goal is simple: to

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

Hochul budget chief swats down tax hike push from Mamdani’s DSA allies

The Empire State will enjoy an $8 billion revenue surplus heading into next year — even as the far-left keeps up its demands for tax hikes on wealthy residents. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s budget director Blake Washington downplayed the calls for new taxes Tuesday, as he revealed the substantial surplus in tax revenues flowing into state coffers. “It’s hard to talk about new taxes when revenues are performing the way they are,” Washington said on the Capital Pressroom radio show. New York State Budget Director Blake Washington speaks as Gov. Kathy Hochul presents her executive budget in Albany, N.Y. on Jan. 21, 2025. Hans Pennink for NY Post Hochul, following her resounding re-election to a second term last week, is already under pressure from Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America allies to “tax the rich.” State lawmakers are likely to push Hochul for higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for priority programs such as universal childcare — as she faces larger super majorities of fellow Democrats in both the state Senate and Assembly come January. Senate Majority Andrea Stewart-Cousins told Politico that taxing the rich will be a priority next year, saying, “We’ve always looked at the ability of

Outgoing GOP Rep. Mike Lawler leaves door open for NY governor run after stinging re-election defeat

Outgoing Republican Rep. Mike Lawler is leaving the door open to a potential run for New York governor — but says he’s done with Congress — following his stinging re-election defeat last week . Speaking to The Post in some of his first public comments since his midterms loss, the two-term Hudson Valley rep said he had no plans to vie for Congress again — but didn’t rule out running for governor or another statewide office in 2030. “If running for office in a different capacity presents itself, great. If not, fine,” he said in a phone interview Tuesday. Republican Rep. Mike Lawler speaks to supporters at a hotel in Pearl River, N.Y., Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Getty Images Cait Conley celebrates on stage during her election night watch party at Club Infinity in Pleasantville, N.Y., Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect Lawler said there was nothing he would have done differently to prevent the loss to Democrat Cait Conley, who surfed the nationwide blue wave in the Nov. 3 elections .
