The deal includes a sweeping package aimed at addressing one of the nation's worst housing shortages, coming after debates on Medicaid, education, and criminal justice. Governor Hochul's focus on a comprehensive housing plan, previously rejected, clashed with legislature priorities. The budget also features discussions on granting Mayor Adams continued control over city schools.
Governor Hochul aimed to use the budget to push nonfiscal policy priorities, similar to previous governors, causing disagreements with the legislature. The issue of Mayor Adams' control over city schools was a significant point of contention within the budget negotiations.
