State legislators passed a fifth budget extender on Monday as the governor and lawmakers continue to try to reach a final state budget agreement.<\/p>\n

The latest extension totals more than $5 billion and includes funding for Medicaid, payroll for state employees and local schools.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Buffalo on Monday, Gov. Kathy Hochul didn\u2019t rule out the need for another extender for the budget, which is now almost three weeks late.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not going to say something\u2019s the last extender,” she said. “I\u2019ve been hoping we\u2019d be done since April 1. But I’m not walking back from … the priorities that New Yorkers deserve to have, the majority of them focused on affordability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assemblymember Phil Palmesano of Corning is the leading Republican on the Ways and Means Committee. He criticized the lack of transparency and progress on the budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be voting for this extender because we have to keep government open,” he said. “But we still have a long way to go, and we need to get to work and do the right thing by the constituents we represent across this state of New York.”<\/p>\n

The latest extender runs through Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Hochul and legislative leaders are trying to reach an agreement on policy issues including auto insurance reform and immigration as part of the budget talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"State legislators passed a fifth budget extender on Monday as the governor and lawmakers continue to try to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":{"0":"post-203818","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-new-york","9":"tag-new-york-city","10":"tag-new-york-city-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-city-news","12":"tag-ny"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
