Good government groups say a new state budget could mean billions in spending approved behind closed doors long after a spending plan gets approved despite the “risk of waste and corruption.&…
Sing Sing Prison Museum got just $125,000 — while millions went to nonprofits focused on “safety and restorative justice.”
A watchdog report revealed that Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed budget will authorize $14.8 billion in spending without saying how it would actually get disbursed.“Telling the people, ‘Oh, we’re going to decide later out of the public view, and then we’ll report on it at some other time — most of it,’ that’s not the way to both get the most out of your money and to be accountable. But that’s what New York State does too often,” Rein added.
New York City received $13.1 million for “probation services” from the Hochul administration while other counties got smaller amounts The problem with such spending is not necessarily how the funding was eventually used, good government groups say, but that it was approved without explicit authorization in the annual state spending plan.
