NYS budget to be released today
Posted January, 17 2012 by arianne
Governor Cuomo is set to give his budget address today at 2 PM to outline his spending plan for the next year. Expected to be on the agenda, of course, is more on Medicaid. Some are speculating that he will talk about a state take-over of local county Medicaid expenses.
Also expected on the agenda is talk of the New York State health insurance exhange, which was included as a priority in his State of the State address given earlier this month.
Today’s budget address will be streamed live on the web for anyone interested in viewing it. You can click here to watch.
