This could be governor Como\'s ninth year in office, but it was the first time he had dealt with a legislature entirely under Democratic control.
Due to the new political reality, the new national budget has a bigger one.
More notable than usual is the congestion charge.
Plans to charge drivers who enter Manhattan below 61 streets were given a green light, but would not take effect as early as 2021.
The governor won on Sunday.
They have been trying to charge through congestion since I was wearing diapers.
It was a long time ago, says Como.
When Mike Bloomberg tried to pass it, it just failed.
Parliament and the Senate also passed the plastic bag ban legislation Sunday afternoon, starting the expected full ban
That could spread to a 2019 spending plan earlier on Monday.
There will be 2020 fiscal years for the country.
Other agreements in the budget include closing up to threeto-be-
Determined state prison, cancel cash bail for misdemeanor and non misdemeanor

\"This budget is probably the strongest statement of progress we have made,\" Cuomo told reporters on Sunday . \" Lawmakers spent hours debating and voting on the budget.
\"If you have a big problem, you need a big solution.
\"In the deal reached earlier last week, most singles did not officially announce it until Sunday
From March 1, 2020, plastic bags from supermarkets and other stores will be banned nationwide.
Each county can choose to charge 5 cents for paper bags, 2 cents for local governments and 3 cents for the National Environmental Protection Fund.
New York will be the third state to be banned across the state.
The California ban has been in effect since 2016.
Plastic bags are banned in all counties of Hawaii, but this is not a statemandated ban.
D-Carl Heastie said: \"The convenience of plastic bags is not worth the environmental impact at all . \"Yonkers.
\"By reducing the use of our country, we will see less garbage in the community and less plastic pollution in the waterways.
\"The main issues that are not included in the spending plan include the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Cuomo and legislative leaders say the issue is too complicated to rush into the budget.
Instead, it can be dealt with in separate legislation developed in the last three months of the legislative session scheduled for the end of June 19.
The Manhattan charge plan, known as congestion charge, will be the first such plan in the United States.
State leaders say a review committee will determine the amount of fees, exemptions and credit lines for drivers entering the district\'s central business district.
Toll charges are expected to increase by billions of dollars to fix bad public transport systems in New York City, although part of the revenue will be spent on Long Island railways and subways
According to NorthAn\'s previous estimate, the toll on individual vehicles is nearly $12.
Cuomo said the Metro could continue to deteriorate without toll charges and that fares for Metro and city buses would have to rise by 30%.
\"This is an option,\" he said of the charge . \"
\"You need a viable public transport system.
\"The national budget will also include two other dedicated sources of revenue for the Metro: the\" luxury house tax \"for Manhattan homes, which costs $25 million or more, imposing an Internet sales tax on retailers selling goods online.
The Metropolitan Transport Authority\'s flow of funds includes a restructuring plan and other reforms that Cuomo requires to manage the city\'s bus, subway and commuter trains.
In addition to canceling cash bail on a number of allegations, other criminal justice reforms include cases requiring prosecutors and defense lawyers to share all case information very early before trial and to take the time to try.
The budget agreement also established a national committee, which will develop a public finance system for the legislature and the statewide office, with annual taxpayer funding of up to $100 million for the system.
Many supporters of public financing are unhappy with the creation of a new committee.
Brooklyn MP Bobby Carroll says it should be the role of lawmakers to make New York state laws.
We should not set up a committee for drafting legislation.
It bypassed our constitutional authority.
We asked Cuomo why he thought it was necessary to take the Commission route.
Too complicated.
This is not a simple system to implement.
The governor said it was not simple across the state.
Cuomo and legislative leaders also agreed to legislation that would allow New Yorkers to enjoy three hours of paid leave on election day and extend the voting time for the Northern primary to six in the morning. m.
Instead of noon to match the election time.
