New York’s state budget negotiations have hit a pause, with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie saying talks are “kind of at a standstill,” according to reporting by Spectrum News.
Heastie expressed frustration over policy-heavy budget discussions and said lawmakers will return to their districts after passing a debt service bill, with talks resuming next week. The April 1 deadline looms, but Monday is a state holiday for Eid al-Fitr, further delaying progress.
Key proposals like changes to discovery laws and a school cellphone ban remain unresolved.
