ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York’s governor has used his line-item veto power to reject 184 provisions in the new state budget.
Cuomo’s office announced the vetoes on Monday, the deadline for him to act on the details of the $142 billion budget plan approved by lawmakers earlier this month.
The rejected items include a $22 million upgrade to a stadium at SUNY Stony Brook named after state Sen. Kenneth LaValle and money for onion research at Cornell University.
Many of the vetoes were done to eliminate unnecessary budget language or otherwise clean up the document. Some related to provisions that duplicate spending elsewhere in the budget, or to items from past year budgets that have already been fully funded.
