Gov. Kathy Hochul hopes her third State of the State speech is charmed

Off Topic/On Politics

Gov. Kathy Hochul this week gave her annual State of the State address, a sprawling speech that addressed crime, housing and even artificial intelligence. But it was also notable that she did not address one of the biggest issues confronting New York: the migrant crisis. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, political reporter Bobby Cuza and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan weigh-in on the governor’s address and whether or not her goals can be achieved by working with the legislature.

Mayor Eric Adams was also at the speech and later outlined what he hopes to receive this year from state leaders. The ‘Off Topic’ team takes a look at Adams’ specific asks and discusses whether the former state senator has finally found his mayoral footing in Albany.
