emerged after behind-closed-doors “three-men-in-a-room” deal-making between Gov. Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Heastie. It added $4,467,286 in appropriations to §1, without revealing this change by any markings on the “amended” bill or by any accompanying memo.
