🗞️ in @gothamist.com from @clewisreports.bsky.social. Our 2 cents: EBRI doesn’t compete with other urgent needs — it equips NYS to meet them. Not funding it now worsens pressures; funding it grows the economy to help fix them. State-backed research is a win-win-win-win. gothamist.com/news/ny-medi...
