Cuomo Says Deals Made on Juvenile Justice, Uber

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York politicians have nailed down budget agreements on key policy issues but are still grappling with the notion of potential funding losses from Republican-led Congress.Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters he has struck "more than conceptual" deals with Senate and Assembly leadership on water infrastructure spending, college affordability, raising the age of criminal responsibility and whether or not to allow ride-hailing companies like Uber to operate upstate.Democrat Cuomo says lawmakers are struggling with how to invest in health care and education when federal proposals have indicated billions of dollars in cuts to programs such as Medicaid.Cuomo says he would rather be fiscally cautious in those areas until the state can more accurately predict what those cuts might mean for New York.Lawmakers hope to approve the budget by Saturday.
