New York Governor Kathy Hochul has committed $3.75 billion for clean water infrastructure.
In her proposed fiscal year 2027 budget, the Democrat highlighted that since taking office in 2021, she has invested nearly $10 billion in energy affordability to fight climate change.

The state budget is due April 1st.
