Gov. Kathy Hochul is getting pressure from environmental activists to sign a law that would impose a two-year moratorium on a type of crypto mining that uses large amounts of energy to make bitcoins.

A New York State Comptroller’s Office report on the state’s unemployment insurance system during the COVID-19 pandemic finds that the system was woefully unprepared to handle the volume of requests in the spring of 2020, when everything shut down, and handed out at least $11 billion in overpayments.

There are increasing calls to replace the head of the state’s Democratic Party, Jay Jacobs, after Gov. Kathy Hochul’s narrow win for election last week and the loss of four congressional seats to Republicans.

Now that Kathy Hochul has won the governor’s seat in her own right, what will her full term in office look like?

New York has elected its first female governor, with Gov. Kathy Hochul winning a full term, defeating Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin in what was a closer race than many had expected.

Tuesday is Election Day, and it brings to an end the surprisingly close and hard-fought race for governor of New York between Kathy Hochul and Lee Zeldin.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and her challenger, Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin, locked in a close race, kept up frenzied campaign schedules over the weekend, with just one full day left before Election Day.

When New Yorkers vote this election season, they will be choosing an attorney general for the next four years.

Whoever prevails will be the No. 2 elected official in New York state, and first in the succession line for governor, so it’s worth paying attention to them.

Kathy Hochul and Lee Zeldin both have close associations with the current and former presidents and both have tried to use that to their advantage during the campaign.
