(NEWS10)-- State lawmakers are planning on a late night at the Capitol."We are going to go until it’s done," Assembly Speaker, Carl Heastie told reporters on Tuesday.Heastie anticipates the Assembly will be voting on the budget until a little after midnight, while the Senate expects to be done before then. A budget extender was passed Monday night to ensure state workers continue to get paid."We’re almost done," said Governor Kathy Hochul. "It’s nearing its completion and I think when New Yorkers look back, they don’t care so much about the time element involved. That time element gave me the necessary time to really get signature bills and ideas over the finish line."I would say that when you take out some of the policy stuff, this checked a lot of boxes on the things that members of the assembly support. Maybe not at the levels that the members would have liked, but I would say this is probably— this might be the best non-pandemic budget I’ve seen in my 23 years in th...

After months of buildup, members of the Writers Guild of America began striking Tuesday demanding better pay and protections from television and film studios.At numerous studios around Los Angeles, New York City and elsewhere, thousands of writers walked the picket lines in support of the WGA's efforts. "It's nice to see fellow members of the guild stand up for our cause," union member Matt Oberg told KTLA. "It's rare that we see each other come out in numbers like this, so it's really fortifying to see us all together. I don't know how long it's going to take, but we feel pretty committed, and time will tell."At the heart of the issue is the impact streaming services have had on writers in particular.Writers claim the birth of internet-based entertainment has reduced their percentage of the money made by the entertainment industry, especially residuals, which come after a project's release. Some streaming platforms, most notably HBO Max, have removed content in an effort to avoid p...

Members of the Writers Guild of America are on strike after they could not reach a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which consists of production companies and Hollywood studios.
