The Executive Budget also includes, once again, language proposing that "a portion" of the EPF be "used for the payment of peronal service sexpenses." The language was proposed and rejected last year for the SFY 2019-20 State Budget because it would set a precedent for the allowance of this use of hte EPF, and would reduce the $300 million appropriation available for projects by an unknown amount. Despite opposition from the We Love New York coalition and rejection of this proposal by the Legislature last year, it was proposed once again for FY2020-21. internet casino gambling in the usa
