“While I am relieved that the process has come to a close, some 38 days late, I am disappointed that some of my and many New Yorkers’ priorities did not make it in. This year’s budget resulted from many tough conversations, which will likely continue in anticipation of reduced federal funding.” (Official legislative newsroom (nysenate.gov))
