Gov. Cuomo - Coronavirus pandemic has “decimated” the New York state budget

The coronavirus pandemic has “decimated” the New York state budget. That’s what Gov. Andrew Cuomo said during his press briefing Tuesday. “You shut down the economy…people aren’t working…people aren’t paying income taxes…businesses aren’t operating, so our budget just collapsed,” Cuomo said. The Governor said if you want to restart the economy, you have to help restart the local governments. Cuomo said “that’s going to be a federal act…that is going to be a federal stimulus bill.”
