Gov. Kathy Hochul updated reporters on the status of state budget negotiations Friday during her annual visit to the LCA pressroom on the third floor of the state Capitol, which traditionally comes as budget negotiations are somewhere in the vicinity of a handshake deal.
Hochul said she does not expect a budget deal this weekend, but is hopeful that once lawmakers return to Albany and conference what she and legislative leaders discuss early next week, a deal could come within the following week. She said staff would continue to work “day and night” through the weekend.
