Speaking with reporters Monday afternoon at the Capitol, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat representing the northeast Bronx, said it wasn’t personal. Along with the appropriations, the governor also lays out a series of bills that would change portions of state law, ostensibly to make changes to things such as tax policy or other items that would have an impact on the budget.
The latest authorization expires in June. And Hochul included a four-year extension in her January budget proposal. But both the Assembly and Senate’s budget proposals didn’t include the extension. “It’s always been the Assembly’s position to advance mayoral control,” Heastie said. “I wouldn't get nervous that it's not in the resolution. It doesn't expire till the end of June.”
