That is normal in most states that I know of.  It is called overriding a
veto.  They do it in my state, they do it in neighboring states, and they do
it on the Federal level.  Does the NY state legislature not have the power
to override a governor's veto?

If they have enough of a majority, the Governor can veto it rather than
sign it, and then the legislature has a chance to override the veto and
make it law anyway.

Not "funding" but "fundies" as in fundamentalists.  There are plenty of
them around who like sticking it to whoever they think is "in sin" while
hoping no one looks too closely at whatever underhanded stuff they get up
to during the 6.5 days a week they are not in church.

Gays, leftists, people who are not religious enough to suit them, people of
other religions, single moms, etc., are all sinful to them and they have no
issue with their voted-upon representative (likely Republican) sticking it to
those groups.
