Episode Synopsis

Tomorrow is New York State’s budget deadline and many organizations want a piece of the pie. One group of restaurant owners is pushing for 25 million dollars to restart the state’s Restaurant Resiliency Program.

It was created with $25 million dollars meant to last four months, but the money quickly ran out in six weeks. Mark Gilchrist reports on the push to get more money.
