It’s about time. Both houses of the state legislature passed Gov. Kathy Hochul’s massive $254 billion state budget package Thursday night following days of debate and over a month delay past the April 1 deadline. Lawmakers made the final votes on the spending plan Thursday evening after fierce debate over a provision slipped into the budget — first revealed by The Post — that could leave state taxpayers on the hook for millions of dollars of legal fees for Attorney General Letitia James.

Kathy Hochul-backed mask ban in the $254 billion state budget deal drew jeers from lawmakers, who said it didn’t go nearly far enough as they lined up to vote on the spending package Thursday. The anti-mask measure was ultimately watered down to the point it will not be an actual “ban,” instead creating additional jail time and other minor penalties for people who wear face coverings to conceal their identities while committing crimes.
