(Albany) Times Union ALBANY Despite a federal report ranking New York third in the nation for the number of Lyme disease diagnoses, not a penny has been set aside in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s executive budget for research, prevention or treatment of the disease or other tick-borne illnesses. The latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate is that the number of people nationally who contract Lyme each year is growing to nearly 500,000; state Sen. Sue Serino, a Hudson Valley Republican, and other lawmakers are urging their colleagues to include $1.5 million to tackle tick-related diseases. Serino said state funding for these efforts has been lackluster in recent years despite the Legislature adding funding for Lyme research, treatment and prevention. In 2018, $1 million was budgeted by legislators for the efforts, but in the following years that dwindled to $250,000 annually.
