The negotiations over the state budget have stretched on for more than a week past the deadline due to differences over housing, education, and health care, dividing Democratic legislative leaders in Albany.
Governor Kathy Hochul seeks to address rising education and health care costs, a housing shortage, and retail theft issues in the budget, but faces resistance from the progressive Legislature pushing for additional measures like tenant protections and climate initiatives.
Ms. Hochul mentioned that negotiations with legislative leaders have been respectful and productive amid disagreements over budget priorities and allocations.
