Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers are just hours away from missing their midnight deadline for the state budget.
Included in both the state Senate and Assembly’s one house budgets, if approved cops hired after July 2009 could retire after 20 years on the job, instead of the current 22 years.
“We do need more cops. There are actually less cops on Staten Island than there was in 1965 if you can believe that!” state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, a Staten Island Democrat, said. “We want to make sure that this is a job that people want to grow in and stay in.”
