The Big Ugly

The budget bill in the State of New York where all the controversial policies are stuffed and the bill is passed towards the end of the budget process with minimum time for public examination and debate. In Albany, it's colloquially called the big ugly which comes as in a package of all the controversial policy combined with all the major priorities so it's harder to vote no on.

The Education bill is the Big Ugly this year, that's where the bail reforms are.
