Daily News Staff and News Services It may be a new fiscal year, but old rules still apply. The Legislature kicked off a scorcher of a week by passing a $5.4 billion budget that will keep government running through July. That allowed fiscal 2022 to dawn on Thursday without disruption, even though an annual budget was not in place once again. Standard procedure, assured Senate Ways and Means Vice Chair Cindy Friedman. She s right. For better or worse, the Legislature often takes negotiations over its annual spending plan past the July 1 due date, and the governor tends to go along. And without COVID-19 to blame this year, negotiators have been granted more time to not only figure out how to spend the state s billions, but how many billions they have to spend.
