Blakeman Leverages ICE Shooting to Press Hochul in NY Governor Battle

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a likely GOP candidate for New York governor, used his Albany appearance to attack Gov. Hochul on crime, taxes and child care while highlighting the Minneapolis killing of Renee Good by a federal ICE agent to frame immigration policy as a point of disagreement. He aligned with Donald Trump on withholding funds from sanctuary-city policies and signaled he would push tax cuts, aiming to replicate Lee Zeldin’s 2022 approach on affordability and safety, even as crime trends in New York have generally cooled. Hochul defended NY’s approach and cooperation with federal authorities, underscoring policy differences in the looming race.

Hochul Unveils Broad Plan to Make New York More Affordable

Gov. Kathy Hochul used her State of the State address to push a broad, affordability-focused agenda aligned with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Highlights include expanding child care to 100,000 more children (about $4.5 billion total), accelerating housing with streamlined environmental reviews, investing in water infrastructure, and backing a nuclear-energy backbone aiming for up to 8.4 GW. She proposed lifting taxes on tips up to $25,000, strengthening protections against ICE in sensitive locations, and extending online-safety measures for minors, while noting funding will be set in the upcoming budget. The plan hinges on coalition-building and faces political headwinds from opponents and within her own party.

Hochul Considers Signing Medical Aid in Dying Bill

Governor Kathy Hochul is expected to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act in New York, allowing terminally ill patients to request life-ending medication, after reaching a legislative compromise. The bill, supported by a majority of New Yorkers but opposed by religious groups, includes provisions such as a video request, waiting period, and mental health evaluation, though amendments may weaken some of Hochul's initial demands.
