Cuomo: Without federal aid amid COVID-19, NY schools, hospitals facing cuts

Gov. Andrew Cuomo says if the federal government fails to provide funding to states amid the coronavirus pandemic, New York could be facing massive cuts to schools, hospitals and local governments.

During his daily briefing Monday, Cuomo again called on the federal government to provide funding to state governments. The governor has been critical of past federal legislation related to the pandemic, arguing those measures didn’t go far enough to help New York.

Without that funding, Cuomo said New York schools could be facing cuts upward of 20%, as could local governments and hospitals.
