US Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand issued a dire warning on Friday that it will be impossible for New York State to backfill tens of billions of dollars in federal funding that President Trump is proposing to cut from its budget — with the April 1 deadline for passing the state spending plan fast approaching.
Gillibrand, who made the comments during a March 28 news conference sounding the alarm about Trump downsizing the Social Security Administration, insisted there is simply no way for the state to plug the massive hole the president’s looming cuts would leave.
