The state budget will be late this year due to tough negotiations between Governor Kathy Hochul and Albany lawmakers over her bail reform rollback proposal and housing plan, the governor, state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie announced separately Thursday.
Hochul first said her proposed $227 billion executive budget would almost definitely blow past its April 1 deadline, this Saturday, during a radio interview with New York State Public Radio’s Karen DeWitt on Thursday afternoon.
