Good afternoon — it’s Friday and National Road Trip Day.

FRIDAY, MAY 24, 2024

TODAY’S CAPCON:

  • The Hochul administration dropped the Financial Plan for the recently passed state budget this afternoon.

  • N.Y.’s addiction services agency is restoring a cut that wound up in the final budget.

  • Hochul issues pardons and commutations.

🔨 Is Tuesday a Session Day? Yes.

🌞 Tonight’s Weather: Albany: Clear, low 50s. New York City: Mostly clear, low 60s. (National Weather Service)


❗ CapCon Note: Monday is a federal holiday, so you won’t find an edition of CapCon in your inbox that day. We’ll start back on Tuesday.

And I know many of you will either be on the road or checked out for the long weekend, so we’re going to keep today’s CapCon brief. Have a great weekend!

Would you like some light reading for your three-day weekend?

If you said yes, Gov. Kathy HOCHUL must have read your mind. The state Division of Budget released the Financial Plan for this year’s enacted state budget Friday.
