According to the Division of the Budget, the budget projections were on track through the first quarter of the fiscal year.<ref name=wnyc/> In the second quarter, however, tax revenues were nearly $400 million — or 1.2 percent — below forecasts. ”If these trends continue, the state may need to adjust its revenue projections downward,” said Comptroller DiNapoli.<ref name=worry/>

===Union Concessions===
The Civil Service Employees Association, the state's largest public-employee union representing 66,000 state workers, made a deal with Gov. Cuomo that included a three-year wage freeze, the first furloughs ever for state workers, and an increase in the amount employees must pay toward their health insurance.<ref name=pact>[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/17/nyregion/in-albany-a-labor-pact-without-attacks-on-unions.html?_r=1 ''The New York Times'', "In Albany, a Labor Pact Without Attacks on Unions," August 16, 2011]</ref> The employee share of health care premiums would rise to between 12 percent and 16 percent based on the employee's salary. It also included pay raises of two percent in the fourth and fifth years of the contract, which had to be ratified by union members. If other unions in the state ratified deals with similar concessions, the state would have saved $73 million in FY 2012, and as much as $1.6 billion over five years.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/23/nyregion/new-york-reaches-deal-with-largest-public-employee-union.html?_r=1 ''The New York Times'', "Cuomo Secures Big Givebacks in Union Deal," June 22, 2011]</ref> The union agreed to the plan to avoid the layoff of 9,800 state employees called for in the budget should public employee unions not make concession to save money. The budget, however, called for $450 million in savings in pay and benefits.<ref name=passes/>
 
Fifty-nine percent of Civil Service Employees Association union members approved the deal on Aug. 15, 2011.<ref name=pact/>
 
The Public Employees Federation, the other major union representing 56,000 state workers, voted in September 2011 on a nearly identical contract.<ref name=pact/>

The final budget restored $230 million to the $23 billion allotted for state spending on K-12. The governor’s proposed property tax cap was gone, which was good news for schools in need of tax revenue. New York City schools were also particularly shortchanged because their expected allocation of state aid of $6.2 billion was cut by $840 million.<ref name=times>[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/02/opinion/02sat1.html?partner=rss&emc=rss ''The New York Times'', "Gov.

The New York State Legislature passed the $132.5 billion state budget for FY 2012 on March 31, 2011. The state's fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 30.[1] The budget reduced spending by one percent.[1]

As of the end of October 2011, midway through its fiscal year, the state collected $584 million less in revenue than anticipated. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced in November 2011 that the state budget had a shortfall of $350 million.[2]

Income Tax

The governor and lawmakers agreed to an overhaul of the state's income tax system in December 2011 which generated $1.9 billion in annual revenue. A surcharge expiring at the end of 2011 had been generating about $4 billion a year. Under the new plan, tax rates would range from 6.45 percent for income between $40,000 and $150,000 (for married couples) to 8.82 percent for income over $2 million. Tax brackets would be indexed to the rate of inflation and would take effect in 2012. The new top tax bracket would extend through 2014; the others would be permanent. A special session of the legislature began on December 8, 2011 to vote on the changes.[3]

State Budget

The FY 2012 enacted budget can be found here (dead link). Overall, total spending in the budget was 2.2 percent lower than FY 2011, or $1.4 billion less.[4]

New York's Fiscal Year 2012 began on April 1, 2011. The state faced a budget deficit of $9 billion before passing the budget that eliminated the deficit with spending cuts.[5][6] Under the agreement between the governor and lawmakers, overall spending decreased to erase a $10 billion deficit without raising taxes. The budget capped spending on education and cut government agencies, authorities and commissions by 20 percent.[7]

According to the Division of the Budget, the budget projections were on track through the first quarter of the fiscal year.[8] In the second quarter, tax revenues were nearly $400 million — or 1.2 percent — below forecasts. ”If these trends continue, the state may need to adjust its revenue projections downward,” said Comptroller DiNapoli.[4]

Education

Under the budget, public schools would receive six percent less funding in the 2011-12 school year.[1] The budget agreement kept state education spending flat at around $20 billion.[9]

The final budget restored $230 million to the $23 billion allotted for state spending on K-12. New York City schools' expected allocation of state aid of $6.2 billion was cut by $840 million.[10]

Medicaid

The budget limited Medicaid growth to four percent.[1] It capped annual Medicaid spending at $15.3 billion, reducing Medicaid spending by $2.8 billion.[11][10] It also capped Medicaid spending at $15.9 billion in 2012-2013.[12]

The governor created a Medicaid Redesign Team, which announced in October 2011 that it had saved nearly $600 million in savings in its first six months of existence, although the program enrollment had grown in that time period.[12] The governor's office said Medicaid spending was in line with projections but pointed to increasing enrollment as a fiscal risk.[13] The New York Medicaid system covered 4.96 million people, almost a quarter of the total state population, as of October 2011.[12]

Courts

The budget cut the court system by an additional $70 million, for a total of $170 million.[10] Days after the budget was passed, the state’s chief administrative judge instructed judges to close their courtrooms a half hour early to avoid paying overtime to court personnel such as court clerks and court officers.[14]

Other Spending Cuts

The budget includes the consolidation of the state's Banking and Insurance departments into a single agency to be known as the Department of Financial Services.[7]

Cuts included:

  • $170 million budget reduction for the Office of Court Administration[7]
  • 10 percent reductions in the budgets of the executive branch and the offices of the Attorney General and the Comptroller[7]
  • 10 percent budget cuts in nearly all state agencies[11]
  • $54 million in other miscellaneous cuts[7]
  • $1 billion or more of Medicaid cut targets[9]
  • $70 million in cuts to the state's court system.[15]


Governor's Proposed Budget

Gov. Cuomo presented his $132.9 billion proposed budget to the state legislature on Feb. 1, 2011.[16] Gov. Cuomo's budget proposed cutting $1.5 billion education and $1 billion Medicaid to close a $10 billion deficit.[16] He proposed no new or increased taxes.[16]
