ALBANY New York will boost spending by billions over the next year in a bid to revitalize the state’s hard-hit economy under a budget deal announced Tuesday by lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo has long prided himself on getting the budget passed on time and trying to keep spending increases minimal. Lawmakers passed a budget on time last spring amid the pandemic, when the Assembly and Senate didn’t offer their own spending proposals.

ALBANY New York will boost spending by billions over the next year in a bid to revitalize the state’s hard-hit economy under a late spending plan that failed to pass in time Tuesday to prevent more delayed paychecks for state workers. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has long prided himself on getting the budget passed within a few days of an April 1 deadline and trying to keep spending increases minimal. Lawmakers narrowly met the budget deadline last spring at the start of the pandemic, when the Assembly and Senate didn’t offer their own spending proposals. A majority of Democratic state lawmakers have called on the governor to resign and questioned whether he’s too distracted to lead as he faces allegations ranging from sexual misconduct to hiding data about COVID-19 deaths among nursing home residents.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) New York will boost spending by billions over the next year in a bid to revitalize the state s hard-hit economy under a budget deal announced Tuesday by lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo has long prided himself on getting the budget passed on time and trying to keep spending increases minimal. Lawmakers passed a budget on time last spring amid the pandemic, when the Assembly and Senate didn t offer their own spending proposals.
But this year s budget delay means thousands of state workers are now facing the prospect of having to wait at least a day longer to receive paychecks: at least 39,000 state employees are expecting a paycheck Thursday.
