state budget

The minimum wage hike, which would eventually be tied to inflation, is part of the ‘conceptual’ budget agreement, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul.

State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli says Hochul and lawmakers must approve a budget extension to ensure state workers get paid on time.

In a letter to Gov. Hochul, Judge Erik Pitchal said that the lack of enough attorneys had created a “crisis of justice” in New York City’s family court system.

The officials’ letter to state leaders comes at an apex of Black political power and amid an exodus in non-Hispanic Black New Yorkers.

With a budget deadline looming, state lawmakers are grappling with how much to raise New York’s minimum wage.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said not enough New Yorkers are applying for state and federally funded programs.

An infusion of federal funds has bolstered the state's coffers, but it's not going to last

Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers fast-tracked the process, but casinos are still likely more than a year away.

New state law requires the order of a “substantial food order” with any to-go cocktails.

Legislative Democrats are willing to roll the dice on NYC-area casinos, but only with local input.
