Hochul, ‘not taking anything for granted,’ makes final pitch as she eyes another four years

A recent $200 check from the state was welcome relief for one woman who stopped to speak with Gov. Kathy Hochul outside Brooklyn’s Atlantic Terminal on Friday morning. She told the governor she had already spent money on groceries at Costco. 

The woman, who did not give her name to amNewYork, said that many of the governor’s affordability initiatives she had heard about were aimed at families with younger children, while parents of teenagers like her were still struggling with everyday expenses.
