New York lawmakers are expected to miss the state’s budget deadline as negotiations over housing and education funding remain ongoing. Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins told reporters Wednesday that legislators are set to give themselves a extension early next week that will keep government functioning while talks continue.
FILE - The New York state Assembly Chamber is seen during a legislative session after Gov. Kathy Hochul presented her 2025 executive state budget at the state Capitol Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024, in Albany, N.Y. New York lawmakers are expected to miss the state’s budget deadline as negotiations over housing and education funding remain ongoing, a top official said Wednesday, March 27, 2024. ALBANY, N.Y.
“We’re at the middle of the middle,” Stewart-Cousins, a Democrat, said at a news conference in Albany. Lawmakers appear cautious to avoid the kind of blowup that delayed last year’s spending plan by more than a month as Democrats fought over bail laws and a plan to spur housing construction.Lawmakers are trying to forge a deal on a housing plan that includes new construction, tenant protections and a tax break for developers to incentivize building in a state notorious for high rents and home costs.
Another potential avenue for disagreement is Hochul’s proposal to change how the state gives out education funding to schools. The governor has said her plan would result in the state better directing money to districts that need additional funding. But it has drawn criticism because it would result in some districts getting less money.
