It’s only the beginning of the suffering this will cause.

Hospitals are at risk of closing. People who are disabled may get thrown off Medicaid because of the reporting of “work” requirements. Lawler did this.

"We have a responsibility to care for our most vulnerable neighbors, especially children with complex medical needs and seniors who require long-term care."

A message from State Senator Peter Harckham:

Budget

“After two months of tough negotiations, we passed a State Budget that invests in New Yorkers.

Yes, the 2026-2027 State Budget includes crucial initiatives that the Senate Majority fought like hell for.

Because residents need help with the ongoing affordability crisis and increased funding for
schools, road repairs and environmental protections to keep taxes down.

Some of these hard-fought-for wins in the State Budget include:

● POWER Energy rebates ranging from $100-200 to offset high utility rates
● Fully funding Universal Pre-K outside of New York City by 2028 and increased reimbursement for Universal Pre-K in SD40
● A $50 million (7.7%) increase from last year for Consolidated Local Highway
Improvement Programs (CHIPS) to fix our roadways—the second year in a row that there has been a $50 million increase.

In terms of protecting the environment and supporting clean energy initiatives that will save
money for utility ratepayers, the State Budget featured:

● A $250 million increase in Clean Water funding to a record level of $750 million
● $1 billion in Sustainable Futures funding for clean energy projects
● $200 million for NY-Sun in the Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power Act to spur solar
development and save ratepayers on utility bills

Let’s keep our Senate Majority this continue advancing important investment priorities and protections in this budget
