Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins Statement on the New York State Budget

“I want to thank Governor Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Assemblymember Gary Pretlow, Assemblymember Amy Paulin and the members of the Westchester County New York State Delegation for their leadership in delivering a budget that prioritizes affordability, strengthens our communities and invests in the future of New York.

“This budget reflects a shared commitment to supporting working families, expanding access to childcare, protecting healthcare services, investing in education, and addressing the rising cost of living that continues to challenge households across our state. The investments in local governments, infrastructure, housing, and economic opportunity will have a meaningful impact on residents here in Westchester County and throughout New York.

“Together, we are making investments that will improve quality of life, create opportunity and ensure that New York remains a place where families can thrive. Westchester County looks forward to continuing our partnership with state leaders as we work to deliver results for the people we serve.”
