April 1 marks the start of New York state’s fiscal year and a state budget agreement is nowhere to be found.
State lawmakers are set to approve a short-term budget extender today. It’ll run through Thursday and ensure the state payroll goes out on time.
Patricio Robayo spoke to Assemblymember Paula Elaine Kay of NY’s 100th District about the issues she’s advocating for in the state budget, ranging from healthcare access to housing, road funding, and prison reform.
