New York state's fiscal condition has improved, but the state may face increasing budgetary challenges in coming years as revenue growth is expected to slow and billion of dollars in settlement money is spent.
82 school districts across the state have been designated as fiscally stressed under State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's Fiscal Stress Monitoring System.
For every dollar New York sends to Washington, DC, it receives about 91 cents back in federal spending, compared to a national average of nearly $1.22.
