ALBANY – Gov. Hochul admitted Thursday that a new state budget will not get approved by an April 1 deadline as Albany Democrats remain deadlocked on key issues like overhauling the state’s lax bail reform law. 

“It’s becoming clear that the budget will not be meeting the April 1 deadline,” the Democrat told North Country Public Radio. “But as I’ve said all along, it’s not about a race to a deadline, it’s about a race to getting the right results.”

The missed deadline comes as Hochul faces off with state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Yonkers) and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) over how to get skyrocketing crime under control.

The Post reported Thursday that the Assembly has floated changes to reforms first approved in 2019 — though the situation remains fluid with the three power brokers still far from a deal, sources say.

“We are working on getting the right results to deliver for New Yorkers. And so that has been my priority,” the governor said.

“I’ve said I wasn’t likely to get an on-time budget,” she added. “But I also know that it’s more important that we get it right.”

This is a developing story.
