Albany's Legislative Session Ends with Little Love for Kathy Hochul.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul's relationship with lawmakers has been strained after she rejected an end-of-session offer designed to help New York tenants and developers amid a housing crunch. Critics said the end-of-session turmoil punctuated multiple missteps that eroded the Democratic governor’s political capital after gaining extraordinary goodwill when she succeeded scandal-scarred Andrew Cuomo in August 2021. A Siena College poll last month showed more New Yorkers viewed Hochul unfavorably than favorably for the first time in her tenure.
