Lawmakers will have to pass at least a temporary budget extension by Monday to make sure state workers get paid on time.
Gothamist is funded by sponsors and member donationsGov. Kathy Hochul and legislative leaders made clear on Thursday that a final spending plan won’t be in place ahead of the start of the state’s fiscal year this Saturday, acknowledging they remain at odds over issues like Hochul’s controversial housing plan and her proposal to once again scale back the state’s 2019 bail reforms.
Unlike some of the federal government’s budget showdowns over the years, New York’s lapsed budget has few practical effects in the short term — assuming they approve a short-term bill to authorize spending, as they have in past years. “Without a new budget, all our same tax policies are still in place,” said Patrick Orecki, director of state studies for the Citizens Budget Commission, a nonprofit that analyzes the New York state and city budgets. “The state will keep collecting money as it has. It just needs the legal authority to then spend that money.”
“I think it's about confidence in state government, confidence that the state government that you elected can function,” Ortt said. “That the trains can run on time, so to speak, right? That things can get done.”Hochul, Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins all expressed hope that a budget agreement could be reached soon.
