NEW: Hochul will propose a $260 billion budget on Tuesday that includes more money for child care, school aid + Medicaid. Though she signaled some openness, Hochul’s proposed budget avoids the tax hikes that Mamdani desired. W/@SallyGold + @elizashapiro

Mayor Zohran Mamdani campaigned on a proposal to increase taxes on those earning more than $1 million. For now, at least, he isn’t pushing.

@BrianCechnicki Assemb. @DougSmithNY thinks it’s important to not only protect the "save harmless" policy, but also to address the root causes of the problem “We do spend a lot of money on education, but it’s important that we make sure the resources are getting to the districts that need them”

@BrianCechnicki Last year’s changes were important, said @fessland , chief advocacy officer for the New York State School Boards Association. “We are just hopeful that that represented step one of the process ... and it’s not one and done," he said.
