NY Governor Hochul's $229B budget deal faces criticism and praise.
TL;DR
Governor Kathy Hochul's announcement of a $229 billion "conceptual" state budget has been criticized by the Citizens Budget Commission for not providing enough financial information to understand the budget's basics. The watchdog has called for the state to publish basic financial plan tables to provide New Yorkers with the information they need to understand how the state plans to spend and afford their $229 billion. The full details of the budget will not be known until budget bills are formally introduced sometime in the coming week.
