NYAPRS Note: Due to a number of unresolved issues among the legislature and the Hochul Administration, the Governor has extended authorization for the current budget until April 10. NYAPRS will be using this time to intensify our advocacy on several priorities, including the 8.5% COLA and passage of the Daniel’s Law pilot. Stay tuned for action alerts!
For Immediate Release: 4/3/2023 GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL
STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL ON ONGOING BUDGET NEGOTIATIONS
“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. For that reason, I am submitting a bill to the legislature that would extend the budget deadline to April 10th, giving us the time we need to deliver a final budget that is responsive to the urgent needs of New Yorkers. We must make real progress to make New York more affordable, more livable and safer.”
