Gov. Kathy Hochul is proposing a $233 billion budget for the next fiscal year in New York State, including sending New York City a whopping $2.4 billion to deal with the ongoing migrant crisis.
The money dedicated for asylum seekers would include around $1.9 billion in itemized funds, which matches the same spending level of the previous fiscal year, and an additional $500 million coming from the state’s reserves, the governor’s office said.
