Gov. Andrew Cuomo crowed about the passing of a $175.5 billion state budget March 31 before all the votes were cast in Albany. "From the beginning, I said we will not do a budget that fails to address three major issues that have evaded this state for decades - the permanent property tax cap, criminal justice reform and an MTA overhaul including Central Business District Tolling," Cuomo said before everything was officially approved. But several items Cuomo had earlier promised were missing from the final budget. Recreational marijuana still is not legal in New York. Cuomo kicked campaign finance reform and public funding of elections to a “binding commission” to study the issue, and public financing, automatic voter registration, and fusion voting. Education funding is increased 3.8 percent in the 2019 budget, and plastic bags are banned. New York State now has an internet sales tax, and some of that money will go to counties. And police can withhold mugshots, and arrest records under the New York budget deal. Cuomo can close three upstate New York prisons under the agreement.
