New York State Budget Update
In his 2012 State of the State Address, Governor Cuomo stated his commitment to make sure that no child in New York goes to bed hungry. In addition, he made a commitment to increase participation in the Food Stamp Program. He followed through on this commitment by increasing the state's investment in food stamp outreach and application assistance in his executive budget proposal. The New York State Legislature agreed with this investment and the increase is included in the final 2012-2013 State Budget.
