Statement from Speaker Carl Heastie Regarding the New York State Budget

The Assembly continues to work to come to an agreement on budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year. We are having productive talks with our partners in government and will be working hard through the night to resolve the remaining issues. The Assembly is prepared to pass a temporary budget extender should one be necessary to avoid a shutdown of government while we resolve these issues.
