Some personal news: . After 4 rewarding years covering Albany, I’m excited to take on a new role covering the migrant crisis in New York. I’ll miss covering the intricacies of the State Capitol, but look forward to chronicling one of the most pressing issues today in New York.
We’re thrilled to announce that @luisferre, who’s covered Albany for roughly four years, has a new beat, covering New York’s continuing influx of migrants for Metro.
