New York State Assembly Chambers<\/p><\/div>\n

The New York State Budget<\/strong> won’t be finalized until at least April 10 after Governor Kathy Hochul<\/strong> and the State Legislature<\/strong> agreed to an extension.<\/p>\n

Hochul said in a statement, “New Yorkers are concerned about public safety, the rising cost of housing, and ensuring high-quality schools for all our kids, and any budget deal must make progress on these core issues. I have been negotiating in good faith with the legislature, but it is clear there is more work to be done before we reach an agreement.”<\/p>\n

Issues holding up the budget from being passed includes Hochul’s proposals to further revise the state\u2019s 2019 bail reform laws and to enact a plan to address the affordable housing crisis by building 800,000 new dwelling units over the next few years.<\/p>\n

The bail reform<\/strong> revisement is the biggest issue with Hochul proposing to eliminate the requirement that judges use the \u201cleast restrictive means\u201d when deciding whether to hold someone accused of a crime before they go on trial.<\/p>\n

Democrats, who lead both houses, are firmly against this.<\/p>\n

State Senator George Borrello<\/strong> called the budget process dysfunctional as a result of one-party rule in Albany, saying in a statement, “Nothing illustrates those failures more plainly than the inability to get a budget passed on time. While those in power regularly proclaim New York State to be a model for its peers, a corrupt, behind-closed-doors budget process and irresponsible, unsustainable $230 billion budget is hardly an example to follow. ”<\/p>\n

Legislators will return to Albany the day after Easter to continue budget deliberations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
