Mayor Eric Adams scored two major policy wins in the month-late $254 billion state budget deal between Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York legislative leaders that she announced on Monday night.
Hochul, during an April 28 news conference in Albany, revealed that the not-yet-finalized agreement on a spending plan for the coming fiscal year includes two of the mayor’s top priorities: tweaks to the state’s recently reformed discovery laws and changes making it easier to involuntarily hospitalize those with severe mental illness.
