RE: Has NY bill passed5 Apr 2021 08:57
I think I read that they wern't meeting yesterday but I may be wrong on that.
We're very close to an agreement (whatever it may be) and I think it is highly likely that we will get news later today (allowing for time difference). Apparantly if the overall budget is not agreed today it impacts on state workers:
"Final drafts of budget bills are expected to be completed and voted on early this week, officials said. The state’s fiscal year began on April 1. Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, a Democrat, said last week that if a state budget isn’t adopted on Monday, about 39,000 state workers may have a delay in receiving their paychecks due this week.
Lawmakers would have to pass a budget extender by Monday to keep the government running and avoid impacting payroll disbursements for state workers until they finalize a budget deal.
Still under negotiation is a plan to legalize mobile sports betting that could eventually raise as much as $500 million a year, by Cuomo’s estimate."
