DiNapoli: New York budget draws on $26.7 billion from new revenue sources

The record $212 billion budget New York lawmakers passed earlier this month includes an estimated $26.7 billion in revenues from new resources. That’s according to an analysis released Thursday by Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.

The new resources include federal aid tied to COVID-19 legislation, tax increases and the creation of new initiatives – including the legalization of recreational marijuana and the authorization of mobile sports betting.
