ALBANY, N.Y. (WIVB) – State Parks managed to survive the budget battle, but other agencies are falling victim to Governor Paterson’s veto pen.

His administration has given state lawmakers more than 6,000 budget items he has rejected.

Among them, $419 million dollars in public school aid and $190 million in Pork Barrel Spending.

Paterson and lawmakers are still at odds over a final revenue bill that’s holding up passage of this year’s budget.
