Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas has welcomed news that Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul have reached an agreement that will see New York state allocate an additional $1.5 billion in operating expenses to New York City over two years to address the city’s ongoing fiscal challenges.

González-Rojas, in particular, praised Hochul and Mamdani for reaching an agreement to provide $60 million in health care funding previously covered by the city.
