ALBANY — This week's episode of "New York New" features Dan Clark's interview with Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes of Buffalo, whose work has helped shape the debate over legalizing recreational marijuana in New York.

Also: Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and other Democrats want to expand the number of construction projects that would require a "prevailing wage." A faith leader explains why he thinks it's a bad idea.

At the Reporters Roundtable, Josefa Velasquez from The City and Keshia Clukey from Bloomberg Law join Casey Seiler of the Times Union to discuss the state-federal war over health care funding.

"New York Now" airs at 7:30 p.m. Friday and midnight Sunday on WMHT Ch. 17.
