    Bill Hammond Retweeted Melissa DeRosa

    In March 2019, the state quietly postponed $1.7B in Medicaid payments from one fiscal year to the next. That was not known to legislators at the time or factored into the 2019-20 budget, which was therefore out of balance from the moment it passed. https://www.empirecenter.org/publications/cuomos-1-7b-medicaid-mulligan/ …https://twitter.com/melissadderosa/status/1311014923158290432 …

    That is not true. There was a deficit caused by Medicaid issues that were resolved with the Medicaid redesign team. The budget was balanced on April 1, as it has been every year for the last 10 years. Be more responsible please. https://twitter.com/annagronewold/status/1310977213639143424 …

        The state eventually "closed" the resulting deficit in part by repeating the postponement tactic with $1 billion worth of Medicaid payments in March 2020. https://www.budget.ny.gov/pubs/archive/fy21/enac/fy21-enacted-fp.pdf#page=140 …pic.twitter.com/UwoQiuvE4L

        As for the 2020-21 budget, it was "balanced" by literally and repeatedly inserting "TBD" (for "to be determined") into key areas of the financial plan, including Medicaid and school aid. https://www.budget.ny.gov/pubs/archive/fy21/enac/fy21-enacted-fp.pdf#page=20 …pic.twitter.com/iMFpvcb4LH

        The governor was empowered to fill in those blanks later, with a mix of federal aid, borrowed money and spending cuts. The fiscal year is almost half over, and that still hasn't happened. My point being that @annagronewold is not the one who needs lectures about responsibility.
