Governor Hochul’s Budget 2023 The New York Senate and Assembly is projected to suffocate Govenor Hochul’s 2023 budget proposals. Since 2001, the legislature no longer sets, determines, and approves final budget matters. Governor Hochul’s alleged focus for the budget includes “ A billion dollar sweetheart stadium subsidy for her hometown in Buffalo, lifting a regional cap on charter schools; allowing slots held by now closed schools to be used again, allowing 108 new independently public schools to operate, and helping answer the crying need of city families desperate for high quality alternatives to traditional public schools.” — Source Daily News
