For the fifth year in a row, the governor and state lawmakers failed to pass a budget before their April 1st deadline.
Lawmakers were able to pass a bill known as an “extender” – allowing the state to pay its bills until next week. @bern_hogan explains what’s causing the delay — and why a final deal may still be weeks away.
Some Neoyorquinos didn’t trust the political ambitions of then NYC Comptroller @bradlander. This requires an independent audit. It should not be left in the hands of the new @NYCComptroller. This is the hard earned dinero of NYC workers and what the tax payers have contributed.

We did it.
We did it as a COMMUNITY.
Because that’s what this was all about since Day One. And that’s what it will always be about.
I’m honored. I’m humbled. I’m ready to get to Washington and get to work.
Thank you, endlessly. Let’s meet this moment together.
I'm proud to join @SenSchumer, @SenBooker, and @RonWyden to cosponsor the Cannabis Administration & Opportunity Act, a bill that will deschedule marijuana, subject it to similar regulatory standards as alcohol and tobacco, and start to undo the harm caused by the War on Drugs.
