The Governor's Proposed State Budget For 2026
Governor Kathy Hochul announced the state budget yesterday. Hochul says the budget includes what she calls inflation refund checks, that’s $500 checks for joint filers making less than $300,000 a year, and $300 checks, for those making less than $150,000 a year. The governor’s proposed budget also includes one billion in funding for green energy, including setting up thermal energy networks at State University of New York campuses.
Reaction From Assemblyman Phil Palmesano:
“Last week, Gov. Hochul said “affordability” was one of her top priorities. Her solution? The largest state budget ever, $252 billion, an increase of $19 BILLION from last year's proposal is what Gov. Hochul proposed in her executive budget presentation. The governor’s plan continues New York down a dangerous and reckless path of more unsustainable and out-of-control spending and misplaced priorities that will just further compound the affordability crisis and financial struggles and challenges facing New York families and businesses. At a time when New Yorkers are making difficult decisions and having to tighten their own budgets, why does the governor think it is appropriate to increase the state's budget so dramatically and irresponsibly? The governor and our Democrat colleagues in the Legislature need to remember this is the people’s money, not their money.
“The Legislature will now conduct public budget hearings through the month of February where we will examine the proposed budget and question the governor’s agency commissioners, department heads and community stakeholders to evaluate the impact of her proposals on New Yorkers.
