Governor Kathy Hochul delivers her first State of the State address.Governor Kathy Hochul used her first State of the State address to push changes she says are designed to restore trust in New York government, vowing to enact term limits for statewide officeholders and overhaul New York's beleaguered ethics enforcement system.
She wasted no time reminding lawmakers there’s a new person with a new attitude in charge – making reference to Cuomo’s clashes with lawmakers and former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio without explicitly naming her predecessor. Hochul’s move back to the Capitol was meant as an olive branch to state lawmakers, with whom she has tried to foster a more collaborative relationship than Cuomo. Hochul had presided over the state Senate as lieutenant governor for six years before ascending to the governorship.
The board follows convoluted voting rules and is filled with appointees of the governor and legislative leaders, the very people it is in charge of overseeing. They would also be banned from earning outside income – a clear response to Cuomo’s $5.1 million book deal, which he struck while he was in office and in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
