Governor’s Budget Power Play

from Buffalo News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New York lawmakers race against time with just six days left in session, forced to choose between passing critical bills or letting them die as the state budget looms large. The governor wields outsized influence, using budget deadlines to push through unrelated policy wins — a tactic some call “hostage-taking.” While legislators grow weary and push for systemic reform, including pay for lawmakers if deadlines are missed, the governor defends the process as a tool for meaningful change. With both sides entrenched, the future of New York’s legislative power struggle hangs in the balance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
