Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul

“This morning, New York Republicans in Congress caved to the billionaire class at the expense of the constituents they serve. With the passage of this budget, the Republican delegation tore up SNAP benefits, slashed funding for affordable housing, killed clean energy projects and enacted the largest Medicaid cut in history — and they did it all while still managing to roll over on the SALT cap. Pathetic."

“New Yorkers deserve representatives who are fighting to bring down the cost of their families’ medical and grocery bills, not line the pockets of the ultra-wealthy. In Albany, I'm working around the clock in service of everyday New Yorkers — our state desperately needs its leaders in Washington to do the same.”
