GOVERNOR HOCHUL DELIVERS ON LONG ISLAND AFFORDABILITY INITIATIVES, PUTTING MONEY BACK IN THE POCKETS OF WORKING FAMILIES

Governor Kathy Hochul celebrated a FY 2026 New York State Budget that delivers all of the Governor’s affordability commitments and will put thousands of dollars back in the pockets of millions of families on Long Island over the coming year and beyond. These huge wins include drastically expanding the size of New York’s Child Tax Credit, including tripling the credit for children four and under, cutting taxes for 1.2 million middle class Long Islanders, and sending inflation refund checks directly to 1.3 million households on Long Island.
