New York State lawmakers successfully passed the 2015-16 Budget spending plan late last night, according to a statement from Gov. Cuomo .

"This is a plan that keeps spending under two percent, reforms New York’s education bureaucracy, implements the nation’s strongest and most comprehensive disclosure laws for public officials and makes the largest investment in the upstate economy in a generation," Gov. Cuomo said via email.

"This is a budget that every New Yorker can be proud of, and I look forward to continuing to work to move New York forward this legislative session and beyond," he said.

Details of the budget were not yet available.
