In her third State of the State address Tuesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul laid out myriad proposals to tackle the issues of crime, mental health and housing affordability in New York.
Hochul gave the address — titled “Our New York, Our Future” — in the Assembly chamber of the state Capitol on Jan. 9, with lawmakers from both chambers of the state legislature, the judges of New York’s highest court, and mayors from across the state — including New York’s Eric Adams — all in attendance. The speech was also coupled with the release of a 181-page book containing 204 policy proposals that Hochul will pursue over the coming year.
