\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAssemblyman Michael Cashman, D-115th Congressional District, calls the fourth New York state budget extension “extremely frustrating.”One key issue lawmakers continue to disagree on is Gov. Kathy Hochul’s environmental proposals. Cashman said Hochul’s electrification proposals in the fiscal year 2027 budget do not work for the North Country, specifically the statewide use of electric school buses by 2035. Cashman said these ongoing budget delays also make it difficult for northern New York schools to pass their own budgets.”It’s extremely frustrating to have our localities, such as our municipalities and our school districts and agencies, still not having a budget on time. We’re about 20-plus days,” said Cashman. “The governor is pushing forward policies in a fiscal document, which these policies do not belong there.”The last time the state budget passed on time was in 2019. Last year’s budget did not pass until early May. This fourth extension will expire next week.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
