The Westchester County Board of Legislators received today the proposed FY2026 Operating Budget for consideration from County Executive Ken Jenkins. The Board will now begin a careful review of the 2026 plan.
Board Chairman Vedat Gashi (D–New Castle, Ossining, Somers, Yorktown) said, “Thank you to County Executive Ken Jenkins for presenting us with this year’s proposed operating budget. Passing the budget is one of the most important responsibilities we have as a Board. The people of Westchester trust us to allocate this budget wisely, and we take that responsibility seriously, especially in these challenging economic times. We will carefully review every aspect of this plan in the coming weeks. I look forward to working together to pass a budget that is fiscally responsible and best serves the people of this County.”
Majority Leader David T. Imamura (D–Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Edgemont, Hartsdale, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington) said, “We look forward to reviewing the proposed budget and ensuring that Westchester County continues to deliver for Westchester’s neediest families.”
