flag Governor Hochul proposes $262.7B budget with $100M in aid to struggling cities, including $40M for Buffalo.

flag Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed a $262.7 billion state budget, including $100 million in additional aid to municipalities, with $40 million going to Buffalo, $10 million each to Rochester, Syracuse, and Yonkers, and support for other struggling areas. flag The move comes amid New York City’s projected $5.4 billion budget shortfall and growing fiscal pressures across upstate communities. flag Hochul, a former Erie County official, emphasized her opposition to property tax increases and stressed the need to maintain essential services. flag While city leaders welcomed the funding as critical for avoiding cuts and borrowing, Republican lawmakers criticized the aid, arguing it rewards fiscal mismanagement. flag The state’s expanded support aims to strengthen financial stability for local governments statewide.
