New York has the earliest budget deadline for a big state in the nation.

As in each of the previous 10 years, the Governor and legislative leaders missed their budget deadline, this time by more than two months.

The April 1 budget deadline has not been met since.

"The question is, are there issues that can throw us into a frenzy like missing the budget deadline?"

New York, after all, is a state that has not been able to meet its legal budget deadline for the past seven years.

"Now there are only eight days to go before the budget deadline," he said.

Under state law, the budget deadline is June 30.

This year was not supposed to be one for missing budget deadlines.

I believe an open budget process can help us meet the budget deadline and we must be on time.

The state is likely to miss its budget deadline for the 20th consecutive year.
