New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made his annual trip to Albany for, what is nicknamed, "Tin Cup Day." It's the process where big city mayors from across the state come before the joint budget hearing to ask for more money.

In this exchange, Western New York Senator and Finance Chair Cathy Young questioned why the city isn't paying more toward the capital costs for the beleaguered Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
