East End Pols React to Gov Hochul’s State of the State 

Gov. Kathy Hochul is trying again to address the housing crisis with a series of proposed legislative reforms that were among goals she introduced in her 2026 State of the State address.

The governor pitched her “Let Them Build” agenda that she said would help expedite residential and other construction without negatively impacting the environment in an attempt to address the housing crisis that has priced many residents out of the East End and the state.
