Last week a $175.5 billion spending bill was passed.
Some lawmakers believe that bill, which was packed with a number of consequential pieces of legislation – is proposed that way intentionally by the majority.

While recreational marijuana was not legalized – several other key provisions were included.
Leader Kolb was in-studio this week discussing the budget outcome, and how it will impact residents of the Finger Lakes and Upstate New York as a whole.
