Statement from Senator Stec on Yet Another Late State Budget

April 4, 2025

2025 State Budget

“Given the failure of the governor and legislative leaders to transparently negotiate a state budget, I voted to pass a budget extender today to ensure New York State meets its financial obligations and that the state workforce is paid.

“One party controls the governor’s office and both houses of the Legislature, yet they can’t even work with each other to present a fiscally responsible, on-time state budget. This failure rests with them, their ongoing dysfunction and inability to move beyond their high tax-and-spend, anti-public safety agendas.”
