New York State lawmakers missed their April 1st deadline for a state budget this morning and one of the reasons why is the massive $600 million in state funding for the new Buffalo Bills stadium.
State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Cousins revealed on Thursday that she was “blindsided” by the deal struck between the Bills and Governor Kathy Hochul, especially the price tag to the public.
As a personal opinion, I think Cousins is playing a little game of political theater. The reporting around the new Bills stadium has said that the public funding was as high as $1 billion, so the $600 million is much lower than that.
