“There are certainly some positive thoughts to take away from the governor’s State of the State – ideas that can protect and benefit New Yorkers – but of course, all they are is thought. Year after year, we see grand promises come out of the executive office, but little follow through on policy that actually helps residents afford the cost of living and raising a family in New York. For the sake of our residents, I hope the governor addresses major concerns facing the state this year with as much zeal as he promoted his proposals this past month.”
