Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan to make city buses free will not be part of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s upcoming State of the State address next week, the state’s top executive revealed on Thursday.
During a Jan. 8 TV interview, Hochul said she does not plan to include Mamdani’s proposal, one of the central planks of his winning mayoral campaign, in her address. Governors use the annual speech to lay out their policy agendas for the year ahead.
